The thing about the below link is this: it’s not ONLY USBank that uses these less than ethical practices on a daily basis.
I’ve been screwed twice by Bank of America (second time really wasn’t my fault - they bought my bank) in a similar manner.

“Last Disk” [to the tune of Last Kiss by Wayne Cochran]
Oh where, oh where is my BSD?
I just loaded Beta 5.3
It’s gone to heaven, so I’ve got to be good,
So I can see the OS when I leave this world.
I’d started to load it in my roommate’s Dell,
the hard drive was taking it pretty well.
During the load, it crashed the heads,
the distro was stalled, *BSD was dead.
I couldn’t stop, so I yanked the cord.
I’ll never forget, the sound , oh Lord–
the screamin’ drives, the speaker’s blast,
the painful scream that I– heard last.
Oh where, oh where is my *BSD?
That load took it away from me.
It’s gone to heaven, so I’ve got to be good,
So I can see *BSD when I leave this world.
When I woke up, the sparks were pourin down.
There were admins standin all around.
Some burned-out chips had fallen on the tiles,
but somehow I found my disc of files.
I lifted the CD, the devil winked and said,
“Load me darlin just a little while.”
I held it close, I kissed the label–our last kiss.
I found the love that i knew i had missed
well now it’s gone, even though I loaded it right
I lost my *BSD and the Dell– that night.
Oh where, oh where is my *BSD?
I tried to load it yesterday.
It’s gone to heaven so I’ve got to be good,
So I can see *BSD when I leave this world.
When I next went to Slashdot, where so many had trolled.
Any so many times “BSD’s Dead!” was told.
Tears fallin’ on the keyboard, I checked “Anonymous”
and I eulogized *BSD, in memory, of us….
When I logged on next, my post was modded down.
In my heartbreak and sorrow, treated like a clown….
No matter what the mods do, it’s in my heart and head
We’ll always know “*BSD IS DEAD!”
Oh where, oh where is my *BSD?
I tried to load it yesterday.
It’s gone to heaven so I’ve got to be good,
So I can see *BSD when I leave this world.
[edit 4/26/05: Thanks to for the correction - I knew it wasn't written by pearl jam, but I found this posted anonymously on a website, and I couldn't remember who really DID write the song...]
OK, here are the rules.
You go find a song that everybody knows and put the lyrics into the Babelfish (http://babelfish.altavista.com/). Translate them from English to German, then German to French, and then French to English. Then post here with 3 clues. See who gets the song right first.
Here’s the clues
1) Not everyone knows it, but everyone who knows me well probably has heard it.
2) It’s a BNL song.
3) Some of the lyrics translated -perfectly- from english to german to french to english

You scored as Buddhism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Buddhism. Do more research on Buddhism and possibly consider becoming Buddhist, if you are not already.
In Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths: (1) Life is suffering. (2) All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality and the craving, attachment, and grasping that result from such ignorance. (3) Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment. (4) The path to the suppression of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path, which consists of right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right-mindedness, and right contemplation. These eight are usually divided into three categories that base the Buddhist faith: morality, wisdom, and samadhi, or concentration. In Buddhism, there is no hierarchy, nor caste system; the Buddha taught that one’s spiritual worth is not based on birth.

Ukraine’s security service chief has said the death of former Interior Minister Yuri Kravchenko last month was almost certainly suicide.
Then, a few lines later…
Kravchenko was found dead with two gunshot wounds to the head on 4 March in his country house outside Kiev.
Are we sure the soviet union fell apart?
