Hey, W, I've got their phone number!

Shades of P.T. Barnum:

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian police are looking for two mystics who persuaded a student to part with more than $160,000 in exchange for lifting a curse, RIA news agency reported Sunday.

"Two unknown women, on the pretext of lifting a curse, stole $150,000 and some jewelry by means of deception. The total amount stolen is estimated at 4.48 million roubles ($161,800)," the agency quoted a police source as saying.

So, W, there is definitely a curse on your house. (Its name may be Cheney). Get a hold of these ladies and, for a fee, they can get rid of him. They might do Rumsfeld and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, too.

Historical Note:
