BIZARRE EUROZONE STORY OF THE DAY: German Finance Ministry Handing Out Fortune Cookies: “The German finance ministry has apparently been handing out fortune cookies around Berlin, which are filled with ‘positive’ mottoes such as ‘Progress due to a stable Europe.’ Some 16,000 of the cookies were produced at a cost of €4,000, and were distributed between August and Germany’s national day on October 3. They could become collectors’ items if the euro does collapse, assuming they haven’t all been eaten.” If the Euro does collapse, they’ll be eaten for sure. They’re food. . . .
