Island for sale. New APS base of operations?

[freakazoid]

The island is located off of Venice, Italy. And is apparently haunted by ancient plague victims and mental hospital patients, but once we get the place properly exercised it should work out great.

I'm in. I ain't afraid of no ghost.

How about an island with more tropical beaches, and less plague ghosts?

[roo_ster]

Man, that would be sweet.

Rehab an old building, archaeological interests, pre-built fortress.  WHat's not to like?

[Fly320s]

Not for sale; it's for lease.  99 year lease.  Better be a good deal.

What could go wrong with that?

BLM gives 10 year leases.

Plus what are Italian laws like? Which is worse Italy or Illinois?

The Italian national military police (Carabinieri) might still be holding a grudge, so I'd have to skip.

No, this is your chance to get over on them, permanent-like.

You are pagan.  No need to tell them what sort of pagan.  Whose fault is it if they get the erroneous impression that you have come to the island to recruit an Army of the Damned Souls for fun & profit?

Why is it I have the feeling RevDisk's concerns about the Carabinieri have to do with something not at all connected with his religious affiliations?

And I probably need to remind (inform?) APSers that without full-enclosure hazmat suits there will not be any swimming in the lagoon that does not involve a scrubdown,  With brushes.  These brushes: http://www.grainger.com/product/ABILITY-ONE-Push-Broom-2RRC2?s_pp=false

BTW - does anybody know the Italian statutes of limitations for currency crimes?  (In case you are wondering why I inquire - Nunya bizznez!)

stay safe.

I'm sure Adrian Newey, Patrick Head, Frank Williams, Aanda Knox, and that group of geologists could tell you some stories about the Italian criminl justice system.

From what I've seen once they get their hooks into you they just keep having trials till they get the conviction they want.

Well, I was using a different name then.  But no sense letting them get a start.  I'll skip this field trip.

I get the odd feeling there's a story there.

I figure if a ghost can hurt you, you can hurt it.

I don't know if you can scare them back, though.

^^^ QFT.

Italy does not seem to be a good choice. However, I have seen articles to the effect that extranjeros and inmigrantes can buy entire TOWNS in some parts of Spain for well under $100,000 USD. Sounds like a deal to me.

Eh, it's the Italians. Their surrender rate is only second to the French.
