Greece Renting Out the Acropolis — Really!

Bar mitzvahs at the Parthenon! Now maybe we can afford to get Angelina Jolie to play Athena!

You can now rent the Acropolis in Athens. Really. Seriously.

The Greek government has approved a cut-rate plan for film crews and photographers: You can now rent the Acropolis for the day for a movie shoot, for $2,050 — slashed from $5,000.

Elsewhere, my favorite website today is Phrasegenerator.com, which has a Financial Advice Generator that generates random financial advice.

My favorite so far: "The smart investor this season will be sure to diversify credit-linked commodities."

There's also one for wine commentary, equally hilarious: "the 1849 White Zinfandel from Capone Winery brings together cryptic musk flavors with a you-know-you-want-it flouride perfume."
