Charter companies reported charging as much as $160,000 for a flight to Tokyo. with one saying it had a request from 14 bankers who 'did not care about price.'

London is under the control of Church of England God. He's much more circumspect in his mighty visitations of wrath, and this week his vengeance took the form of Olympics countdown clock embarrassment.

Isn't the Church of England God also the Old Testament God? He was pretty vengeful.

If this was god's work, surely it would have been London that was hit by earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes and nuclear meltdowns?
