"What was your worst business idea?", Felix Dennis is asked in a questionnaire in today's Financial Times. "A magazine for teenage girls awaiting the birth of a baby panda bear," answers the multimillionaire Maxim publisher. "In the event, the wretched creature was not pregnant but suffering from flatulence. Tens of thousands of copies remained unsold." Asked the now obligatory (but not very FT) question, "have you ever killed someone?" – he seemed to claim he had in a 2008 interview, then retracted the statement – Dennis replies: "Mind your own damned business".
