1) Sweaty Wall Streeters Skip Booze for Spin-Class Meetings (Bloomberg) - You losers make me sick...
2) Bank of England suspects traders of bond-rigging (BBC News) - The next big story out of London. First LIBOR, now this. When are the fixed income kids gonna learn to play nice?
3) The Future of Money: A Global Currency? (Money Choice) - Well laid out infographic on what a global currency would look like, the impact of speculation, and the effects of inflation.
4) This Is Litecoin, The 'Silver' to Bitcoin's 'Gold' (SF Gate) - Speaking of alternative currencies, when BitCoin gets too unwieldy, Litecoin is here to take up the slack. Somebody alert the Winklevi.
5) The Truth About Taking Vacation On Wall Street (Business Insider) - If you're an intern or a first-year anything, you can go ahead and skip this one. For the rest of you, here's a few hints on how to get a couple weeks off and a lighter workload when you get back.
6) Inside The Massive Global Black Market For Smartphones (Huffington Post) - Here in Paris, thieves covet your smartphone even more than the cash in your wallet. It might surprise you to learn, however, that one of the global hubs for fencing stolen smartphones is lovely downtown Detroit.
7) Apple Sued For Porn Addiction: Man Says MacBook Cost His Marriage And Kids (International Business Times) - So much delicious FAIL in this story. Seriously, how hard up do you have to be as a lawyer to even file a suit like this? He needs to look on the bright side: now that the wife and kids are gone he's got a lot more time for porn.
8) Gov't Bureau 'Creating a Google Earth on Every Financial Transaction,' Senator Warns (CNS News) - I hesitated to post this one just because the source is such a nutbag tinfoil-hat organization, but this Senator actually said it, so here it is. While I suppose it's theoretically possible, does this stuff even surprise anyone anymore?
9) The world's largest yachts 2013 (CNBC) - Rising Sun is still my favorite, just because it looks so yacht-y with its teak decks and all. Yas looks like it just ran a 100-yard dash in a 90-yard gym. And Azzam is just ridiculous with that size and speed.
10) Man has $18K sex doll made in ex’s image (Asbury Park Press) - Anatomically correct in every detail but the vocal cords. Dream girl.

That's it for this week, monkeys. Let me know what you think about this batch of Bananas in the comments, and have a ridiculous weekend!
Great stuff.
I don't think I mind the idea of #1... although I'd say I'm far from introverted/ party-averse.
10) "I want it just like her … but with bigger boobs" no way does the guy's ex look remotely like that lol.
Can't wait for Breaking Bad.
1 - any reason they have a picture of people on treadmills when the heading says "spin class"? (yes, i saw the pic a short ways down of a spin class)
1 - I know I'm not allowed to say "that's gay" anymore, but that's gay.
