Its a good thing that whatever companies that ICAHN gets his hands-on quickly turn into a pillar of salt.

Word is Carl Icahn has been tapped as the Heath Ledger replacement in the next Batman. He's got the looks, but can he pull off the acting?

So what's the deal with calling this guy an "Activist Investor" anyway? He's just a corporate profiteer it's not like this was ever any sort of cause or anything short of taking Yahoo giving Microsoft the patents they wanted and Icahn sells off the rest of yahoo at a yard sale and pockets all the money for himself. It's weird, like it's being promoted that he's actually doing something for the community.
