RAINING MONEY IN TAIWAN

  Also from Reuters comes this story: "Relatives of a kidnap
  victim in Taiwan struck a passing motorcyclist with more
  than $600,000 in cash when they tossed the ransom money
  to the kidnappers from a highway overpass.

  The $600,000 ransom, packed into two nylon bags, landed on
  57-year-old Lu Fang-nan when he rode under the overpass
  just as a relative of the victim delivered the money according to
  kidnappers' instructions, local media said on Thursday."

  "Lu, who later sought medical attention for swelling and bruising
  of his left leg, said he rode off not realizing he had been toppled
  off his motorcycle by a small fortune."
