Half a million bucks? For something that sold 600K copies in the late nineties? New definition of "scarce," I guess. Just for amusement purposes, let's see how other sites tell the tale. Here's the MSN.com version. Imagine a TV news reporter with ADD:

Finally, a version on allvoices.com, apparently run through a busted computer translation matrix. (I'd say "translation program," but "matrix" sounds much cooler.) Ready? Pay attention. This gets rough at times.
Noted.
