13 Oct 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Our latest addition to the Boss Hall of Fame hails from Nigeria. I’m hesitant to say he is a traffic warden, because he is so much more.

The same study suggests that US pot growers are responsible for 1% of national electricity consumption. So I guess it’s not that green after all. (Sorry.)
