Things that make you go Hmmm....

How does the Nigerian Petroleum Corporation manage to over-invoice by exactly $30M, or other number ending in at least 6 zeros? Whenever an invoice amount gets screwed up here, it's off by $5.87 or $1,924.39 or some similar weird amount.... (This applies to the variants of "money locked in a trunk" flavor - if you *had* managed to scam $10M from someplace, wouldn't the trunk end up containing $9,850,000 or so, because the other $150K went into your pocket to pay for your hastily-planned exit? ;)
