| Executing the "best lead" the FBI has seen in the search for "the human remains of James Riddle Hoffa" is expected to take a couple weeks and involve extensive digging at a horse farm where organized crime figures used to meet. Detroit FBI agent Dan Roberts said in a briefing Thursday that agents have found "nothing significant" during digging on the farm so far. The search, for which a slate of experts including anthropologists, architects and engineers are being brought in, might include the removal of a barn, officials said. For years, there has been a rumor in the surrounding neighborhood that Hoffa had been killed and buried there at the order of mobsters and others who didn't want Hoffa to regain power over the union. Deb Koskovich said she heard the rumor about Hoffa's body two decades ago from a neighbor when she moved next door. "We laughed and that was the end of that," said Koskovich, 52. "I never thought about it again until today so apparently there have been rumors." |

| #8 "Marco?" A hugely annoying game played by children, typically in a pool. One person is..."IT", and has their eyes closed. They yell "Marco", while the other players respond with "Polo". The goal being to home in on someone and tag them. Has been known to incite homicidal rage after hours of listening to such nonsense. -M |

| #6 reminds me of the joke about the prisoner getting the feds to dig up his Dad's garden for him by saying "It's buried in teh garden" - knowing they were bugging his phone.. |
