Si el programa de changarros de Fox se pusiera las pilas...

Aprovechando el espíritu esotérico que trae todo inicio de siglo, una "bruja" en Noruega se puso las pilas, tomó un curso de desarrollo emprendedor, diseñó su plan de negocios y el gobierno le dió el capital inicial para echarlo a andar! Si los brujos del Mercado de Sonora se lo propusieran, hasta podriamos hacer películas que dejarían a Harry Potter tarado... Aquí la noticia:

Witch wins government grant
A Norwegian woman setting up shop as a witch has been awarded a government grant worth 53,000 kronor ($7,500; £4,500). Lena Skarning, aged 33, was given the money because her business plan - according to officials from the regional development fund which gave the grant - was "pretty reasonable and well thought out".

Her business, Forest Witch Magic Consulting, will tell fortunes, teach magic tricks at corporate seminars, and offer potions and creams to cure for problems ranging from sleeplessness to bad habits.

A condition of the grant is that she has promised not to try any spells that might hurt anyone.
Habitually dressed in black and with a white cat, Ms Skarning said she had been a "nice witch" for 13 years.
But she said she had only recently come up with the idea of applying for the grant after she attended a seminar on entrepreneurship. "I'm an ordinary witch who came up with an original business idea," she said.
