How odd.

I was, as usual, perusing Eschaton this morning, and happened upon the post "Hi, I'm a Total Prick" with its associated image:

I wrote a stupid book about bringing capitalism to my "ancestral homeland," went there, then got arrested for trying to smuggle out artifacts looted from the museum.

What's odd, is that when I was finishing high school in Providence back in 1991, I knew this face as belonging to a kid a couple of years younger than me known as Yosef Braude...not Joseph. It's a somewhat startling manner to re-notice someone who you had forgotten the existence of for the past decade. I guess it looks like he's doing okay for himself, if not exactly in the most ethical manner.
