Because they were backup tapes (AFAIK) being taken off-site incase the main storage place burns down or something. Its generally unlikely that it would disappear, but in this case, I'm betting its been stolen.

3.9 customers? Ouch, that's a LOT of personal information.

Just wait and see... 3.9 million people will get charged $1 extra on a medical bill or something, and someone else will be 3.9 million richer

Whats the problem here? They are called fanny packs... and the reason they are called this, is because they're worn over the buttocks. Though, I see most people wear them on the front, or the sides.

Suffice it to say that "fanny" isn't "buttocks" in all English speaking countries.

AHAHAHA. You crazy foreigners. You and your silly words that don't even sound bad.

Hey... it can be compatible both ways... wear it on the back, its a fanny pack in the US... wear it on the front, its a fanny pack in UK :E

Fanny... i'm gonna have to use that word more often when I speak to my british friends, and use it in an 'innocent' manner.

"Man... so I was sitting here for half the day, and my Fanny really started itching. Bugging me so much in fact, I started scratching it. But no ordinary scratch would work, I had to dig out the heavy duty metal fork to scratch it real good and satisfy that itch like nothing else can!"


But of course... i'd have to be female... so... that wouldn't work.

See... if an american went to europe... he'd be so uncomfortable. It'd be nuts...

"I've got a fag in my bum bag"

And of course, in good ol american terms, i'm sure you know what that might be construed as.
