In a bizarre story on the BBC news website today, prisoners at an open prison were able to buy a raffle ticket offering, as the prize, a day out of prison. And it’s interesting to note that the governor of the prison didn’t know about the prize being offered in the raffle!
See the full storyhere.

Hi! I’m probably home. I’m just avoiding someone I don’t like. Leave a message, and if I don’t call back – it’s you!

A monk in his travels found once a precious stone and kept it. One day he met a traveler, and when he opened his bag to share his provisions with him, the traveler saw the jewel and asked the monk to give it to him. The monk did so readily. The traveler departed overjoyed with the unexpected gift of the precious stone that was enough to give him wealth and security for the rest of his life. However, a few days later he came back in search of the monk, found him, gave him back the stone and entreated him: ‘Now give me something much more precious than this stone, valuable as it is. Give me that which enabled you to give it to me.’
