The artist Banksy's real name. This has been speculated for years! And more on him...was his name deliberately kept quiet, so his work would cost more?

A frugal (and scruffy) trailer park groundskeeper bequeaths $3.8 million to his small NH town. Yow!! Fort Garland, do you have anyone like that living here? According to his sister:

'He always told me that his main goal in life was to make sure that nobody noticed anything,' she said, adding that he'd say 'or you might get into trouble.'
