Timothy Geithner: "nighttime theory"
Ben Shalom Bernanke: "bank henbane morsel"
Black Henbane
Henbane can be toxic, even fatal, to animals in low doses. Its name dates at least to 1265. The origins of the word are unclear but "hen" probably originally meant death rather than referring to chickens.
The puzzle is all coming together quite nicely. Anagrams for the win! Sigh.
Made in China: "chain maiden"
Andromeda: The Chain Maiden (pdf)
King Cepheus consulted the Oracle of Ammon for a solution and the orcale told Cepheus that he had to sacrifice his daughter Andromeda if he wished to stop the slaughter. Left with no choice, poor Andromeda was punished for her mother's boast. She was chained to the rocks by the sea and left for the dreadful Cetus to devour.
It's not all bad!
The final ending is the same though – Andromeda is set free, marries Perseus and led a long, happy life together with six children.
We must be Perseus! We'll just keep importing goods made in China and they'll keep importing our US dollars! Woohoo!
P.S. We'll need those six children to pay off all of our debts!
