That has to be one of my favorite pictures ever, Bradley. I cracked up the first time you posted it, and it just gets funnier. The Gilligan's Island font is a perfect touch.

That is a very neat location. Can I just sit in the lobby and watch the waves roll in?


You can be my guest anytime I'm near the beach, Miriam. I keep it on wheels so I tend to move around a lot. Sometimes a Linden comes along and well, you know....

Hold the iPhone. I didn't call anyone stupid.

Putting up a bank isn't a problem. The problem is people who are dumb enough to use it by putting their money in it.

You aren't trying for the Archbishop of Canterbury's job are you???? :D

My guess is that even a Sharia bank in SL would have to prove it was real life registered, in whatever capacity they need to be, like any other bank. The "not giving interest" clause is probably irrelevant in any case now.


I am not holy enough mate.

A bit like St Augustine who asked to be delivered from temptation, but not just yet.....-:)

On the Sharia bit the Islamic decide what is compliant, not Linden Labs. So, unless King Philip 1 is an Islamic scholar in disguise the authority is not given to Him to pass judgement on such a weighty issue

Oh. My. Goodness.

Tell me if you would trust this new bank after reading the latest on the owner of Banqex. It sounds like he has a little trouble keeping his hands off other people's money - he allegedly tried to steal over 4 million L$ from BCX. Well, I suppose that's one way to get money for your bank.
