There's somehow another great story about a con queen of alarming intelligence who ripped off a bunch of people who should know better, and this one's even better than the last. She's a near-flawless mimic and she impersonates studio executives.

Alberta is the largest rat-free populated area on earth, and many Alberta residents don't even know what a rat looks like. It's all because of a rat-control program the province began after WWII. Did they make propaganda posters? You bet they made propaganda posters.
