I thought the bar code was the Mark of the Beast.

Or maybe Gorbachev's birthmark?

Lordy! That brings back memories...!

Seven years or so ago, an entrepreneur ran a "Masters of Business" Seminar in Auckland. $400 -- $1000 per seat:the event was packed.

Speakers included "Mega-memory" Kevin Trudeau, Al "Chainsaw" Duggan, "Stormin' Norman" Schwartzkopf and... Gorbachev himself! Who could resist???

Luckily, I finessed a pair of tickets from the Firm I worked for (good seats!) and took a client along.

A great day: the hi-lite was Gorbachev's talk, which was given in Russian via an interpreter.

All day long, there was this bird -- a swallow -- that was flying around the building: it had obviously gotten in somehow accidentally, and could not find its way out. Around, around it flew...

...and midway thru Gorbachev's talk, it took a swoop at his birthmark! And then another swoop -- and crapped on his head, bulls-eye!

He uttered something in Russian that was not translated.

(Somehow, somewhere, there *must* exist film footage of this! There were plenty of TV cameras around at the time.)

I was there, I saw it, it is true...
