offtopic but: AOL bought Time-Warner!

Talk about merger mania. And AOL is the smaller of the two. Makes you wonder what's next....

Doc

I can't remember the exact amount, I think it was around 21 Billion USD. Tell you what, I'll offer you 2 Coors and a packet of nuts (your call, salted or dry roasted) for a takeover of Mordrids Castle.

Now that is an offer that should boost both Wall Street and the FT stiffshirts over here. In fact, the way that tech-shares are taking off, maybe we should float right now at 20 Parrots a share !

Actually the price of the deal reported here in the States: 184 BILLION USD. (GASP!!)

Total value of the combined companies: 350 BILLION USD.

Jeezzzz...

Now, does this mean that if you have Warner Cable your service will be turned off if you don't watch it for 15 minutes?

Hmmm....
