Angel >> Free money After years of take, take, take, a Bank of Nova Scotia ATM in the McGill student centre started spitting out extra twenties with every withdrawal made. Several struggling young minds were given the bonus bucks, though officials at the bank didn't give any clues as to how many got to take advantage of this error before the machine was shut down. Speculation abounds that the bank was secretly doing their part to help pay back those student loans.

Insect >> Olympic doping While the newly established World Anti-Doping Agency tries to ensure "fair game" in amateur sports, more partisan agencies, from the U.S. Olympic Committee to the IAFF, are doing all they can to confound sportsmanship with politics. The results? Snorting Canadian equestrian Eric Lamaze beats a lifetime ban from amateur sports twice in the space of a month, while Cuban high jumper Javier Sotomayor's two-year ban for cocaine-use is halved in time for the Sydney Olympics. Either straighten out the rules or let the dope run free. After all, magic mushrooms were the drug of choice at the ancient Greek Olympics.
