Well, this announcement apparently didn't originate from Nigeria.

But does the EU have a board of trustees?

Would the EU pass out grants in British pounds?

And, notwithstanding my high opinion of myself, I wonder if the EU and other governments and entities would decide to give me the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of dollars (more?) without even forcing me to go through the indignity of asking for the money?

Naaah!

Darn!
