Well, it's 25 - 30 degrees cooler here....but you have to like rain, too....

I'll take rain over hot as hell any day

There's only so many pieces of clothing you can take off before someone gets angry

One of my best friends at work is probably going to leave town. I'm bummed.

Sorry. Is he going to a better place?

That strained look on his* face wasn't anger...



*Insert favorite Twister player's name here.

Gas?
That would be awkward in a game of Beach Twister.

 

[Adam]

That's too bad. So when he leaves, who are you gonna get to bum you?

Thanks...I think.

Sorry. Is he going to a better place?

I'm sure he thinks so. I'm not convinced, but I know that I'm in no real position to know.

It would be more than awkward in a game of Fire Twister.

Then again, the flames might be appropriate.

Nttawwt.

Is that another Twister reference?

Fire Twister?!

OMG, I can't imagine. Or, at least, I don't want to try to imagine. What if beans were served for lunch that day?

[gmichael]

How did you get the beans above the frank(s)?

I collect coins and other currency sometimes. I ordered some of Zimbabwe's hyperinflated money. I thought it'd be cool to be a quadrillionaire. It really is awful what happened in Zimbabwe with it's economy and overall state of the country, but the money is interesting to look at anyway.

Here's some of their dollar bills from the time of the hyperinflation.

The figure portrayed on the banknotes could probably do a better job of running the country than the one they actually have in office.

Well, I didn't mention that I also had one of these delivered today because of the predictable ration of s**t.

So, I'm waiting for a review on a $300+ battery powered handheld vacuum. It better suck the chrome off a trailer hitch to get my attention

At current exchange rates, that hundred trillion dollar bill is worth $276,319,425,255.59 USD. I can see why the average Zimbabwean would have to carry a few of those around.

The million dollar bill is still worth 1,000,000.00 ZWD = 2,763.19 USD.
XE: (ZWD/USD) Zimbabwean Dollar to US Dollar Rate

Has this currency been replaced or is it still in circulation?

You're going to love this. I already had one of these.

The stand that came with my computer wasn't assembled correctly (as far as I could tell), so I just spent an hour and a half disassembling the computer, removing the stand, figuring out was wrong, and (hopefully) fixing it. I don't know if it's actually fixed because I have to put it back together...but it's giving me just enough trouble that I stopped for now.

It's 4:00 AM and I just realized that I'm jealous of your dog.

In 2009 they cut off 12 zeroes, essentially making the 100 trillion ZWD bill worth 100 ZWD. But the also cut off three zeroes in 2006, and another ten zeroes in 2008. Combined with the 12 zeroes in 2009, that's a total of 25 zeroes.

Had they not began slashing zeroes in the first place, they'd have dollar bills more like... 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 aka 1 septillion. Personally I would love to have a dollar bill that says 1 septillion on it. But that's just me.
