  • The iTulip Ferengi Award?

    My eldest grandchild thinks he is a wise guy. He presented me with a "Ferengi" award.

    I had to look it up, got a kick out of it and got the joke.

    Their home planet, Ferenginar, is the center of the Ferengi Alliance and is governed by the Grand Nagus and a Commerce Authority made primarily of the Council of Economic Advisors (formerly Board of Liquidators). Like most of their culture, their religion is also based on the principles of capitalism: they offer prayers and monetary offerings to a "Blessed Exchequer" in hopes of entering the "Divine Treasury" upon death, and fear an afterlife spent in the "Vault of Eternal Destitution".[2]

    I don't know what it is, but I bet it's better than be thrown off the tower.

    On Ferenginar, some criminals and financial deviants are taken by the FCA to the top of the spire of the Tower of Commerce and shoved off to plummet into the Sacred Marketplace, a full 40 stories below, where people bet on where the victims will land.
