  How strange is it to be Larry Ellison? Actually, all parties in that dispute are weird. Dude expects the world to freeze around him (who knew that redwoods would grow), so he offers to double the landowner's investment, giving them an $8 million dollar profit...and they don't accept. Know what I'd do with $8 million dollars in real estate profit? Retire immediately.

  "You know, I don't do things like that. I'm a public figure." Jesus what a self-important thing to say while not outright denying it.
