Lawmakers in Nigeria are thinking about enacting a law that will ban any form of association among gays, with penalties of up to 5 years in jail.

Republicans cry that the Federal Reserve threatened to drive out Bank of America CEO Kenneth Lewis if they did not follow through with the plans to overtake Merrill Lynch & Co. This came after they reviewed investigation documents. They also said that there was confirmation that the government withheld information related to the amalgamation from the public, exactly violating the Freedom of Information Act. Thankfully, there was no proof that the government tried to get Bank of America to hide Merrill?s losses from shareholders.

In the 1700’s, dishes, saws, knives, flints, a scraper, a prehistoric horn celt with strange markings, a spokeshave and some arrowheads from the Neolithic Period were found. These are now safely housed in the museum in Cardiff, but at the time no one thought to organize an excavation and later a housing estate was built on the site.
