I surely can’t be the only one who assumed this was one of those threads where the OP talks about sending the distraught parents a message giving GPS coordinates for where they can find the remains. ---

Also, I went to a local t-shirt shop and had a couple of “SMDB - Fighting Ignorance Since 1973” front and back. Hope I don’t violate some copyright laws, just trying to recruit the unwary. I think I have at least a few tourists here asking about it. They were all from the Chicago area. Global expansion is difficult! 🆒` [https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/announcement.php?f=2](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/announcement.php?f=2) > [@](#): > > There’s a new category called “Friend of Cecil.” I had hoped to be able to set this up so people could contribute anything they liked, but the system doesn’t work like that.

“Once a day every day” got me thinking. I sell little bits and bobs on the InterWebs. I only take PayPal. I lose 3% on every sale. Does the F.O.C. donation setup lose a similar small percentage in financial transaction handling? Should I, in fact, be donating $ 1.03 every day? ---

I don’t know what vigorish PayPal puts on the _Chicago Syn-Times_ but I guess we can chalk it up to the cost of doing business. I would think that everyone involved in this transaction takes a little bite.
