Is the Mgt. over in England these days? One of the most memorable characters in Illuminatus! is Markoff Chaney, the midget, who posts puzzling signs designed to sow confusion. He signs that The MGT, which is assumed by many to mean "the management," although in fact the signature means "the midget."

Someone over in England has been leaving clever signs in the London subway. I've posted one of the photos; for more, go here.

Hat tip, Adrian Reynolds.
