SO WHERE'S MY $25 MILLION?

  Last week's "News of the Weird" column featured a story
  about a fake U.S. treasury check:

  "In April, Luftee Abdul Waalee, 48, was sentenced to three
  years in prison for trying to pass a fake U.S. Treasury check
  for $25 million at a credit union in Pittsburgh. According to the
  prosecutor, Waalee is a member of the "Moors" black
  separatist group that supposedly believes that each American
  is endowed with a secret government account worth around
  $600,000, based on a theory that when the U.S. went off the
  gold standard in 1933, it began backing its currency not with a
  precious metal but with the prospective labor of its citizens.
  (Because the Moors are smarter than everyone else, only they
  know about these secret accounts and can thus buy and sell
  them.)"
