slavesofspiegel; Do you know what a speigel is?

There have been cases of people doing things similar to this. They place an ad saying something like “Secret to making money. Send $5.00 to P.O. Box XXX”. All you get is a letter telling you to do the same thing.

runar: Oh. A pyramid scheme. What some say is pretty much what got us all into this mess in the first place.

Yeah, I remember those ads. Good thing my fear overcame my naivete at the time. :)

“Spiegel” is German for “looking glass”. You can order one from the Spiegel catalogue (or website).

“Speigel” is a last name. I don’t know the translation, but here’s one member of the family:

Slaves of Spiegel is a book by Daniel Pinkwater. The sequel to Fat Men from Space. Look it up if you don’t believe me - you should, anyhow, and then read it, too.

Chapter two: repeat chapter 1

“Der Spiegel” is also a German magazine - it’s either like Life with more news or Newsweek with more pictures.

“Foxtrot” is one of my fave comix. The laughter is outta hand in this strip!

Pinkwater is top notch!

i wonder if there will be a sequel

haha I luv foxtrot

lol, i’d buy it!

In the old daily Foxtrot, Roger fell for a similar mail order “How to make a Million” get rich plan.

this is related to a Calvin and Hobbes comic I once read.

I think Rat from Pearls Before Swine did this first
