The firm got whiff of a tasty opportunity, so an all-attorney email was sent out to see if we could capitalize on it:

Subject: "World Bank lawyer" wanted for "Prize Capital Initiative" legal work--corporate
A client is interested in hiring a lawyer to represent his interests in setting up a fund and emerging company generator using World Bank and matching funds for technological innovations that will generate global health and environmental benefits and will spin off companies on the IP developed. Others involved are Paul Allen, Sergei Brin and Richard Branson. So it’s a potentially interesting engagement.
Please advise if we can identify such a World Bank person or identify a volunteer for that position please advise.

I have no commentary on this. I just pop open the email (and the Recall request that came 10 minutes later) whenever I need a good laugh.
