Yanis Varoufakis accused of profiting from Greek crisis by charging £40,000 speaker fees
The radical socialist, who was sacked as Greek finance minister, is charging lavish lecture fees, says an email from the London Speaker Bureau

Mr Varoufakis now charges £40,000 for one speech given “outside of Europe”... Mr Varoufakis will speak anywhere inside Europe for £3,000 – and he will give a university lecture for £1,000.

Mystery of the deep: Tourist baffled by bizarre SEA MONSTER captured on camera in Corfu
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-3291841/Mystery-deep-Tourist-baffled-bizarre-SEA-MONSTER-photobombed-holiday-snaps-Corfu.html

Looks like an inflatable toy hippo that blew off some beach a couple of years ago and is now starting to sink!  Funny how he didn't notice it at the time. ;)
