Our Sensex* clocks the 10,000th grave on Boot hill**


* FEB, 6 -- India's benchmark stock index charged past the 10,000 mark to touch an all-time high during a record rally Monday. (BusinessWeek)
** Burial grounds in the American West were known as Boot Hills. Also refers to a cluster of graves that were made for people who died in a strange town without assets for a funeral, known more formally as pauper's graves. (Wikipedia)
