‘Money doesn’t count!’ - The Friar

Think that counting money is done the same way all over the world, well think again, counting money is done very differently depending on where you are. This video shows how counting money is done in Japan, Korea, China and Singapore, then in Afghanistan,Iran,India, Tajikistan and the Middle East, then in Russia, Mongolia, Poland and Eastern Europe, then in Turkmenistan, Kazakistan, Pakistan, and parts of Turkey, then in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait and Egypt, then in Africa, then in America, Canada and England.

Interesting differences in the counting styles of the different countries, who would of known that there are hugh cultural differences in money counting!

‘They misunderestimated him!’ - The Friar

George W Bush has left a trail of destruction behind him as he leaves the White House, economic crisises, two wars and a demoralised America and world. In one last binge, bitter at the Obama’s Democrat victory and his failed legacy, W. thrashes the White House leaving it upside down, creating a door in the roof, it’s also been reported that in a fit of anger, he knocked the Oval Office into a hexagon.

In a press conference, on the White House lawn, George W. Bush commented, ‘It wasn’t me… the Taliban did it!’, adding a ‘group of Taliban terrorist extremeists had escaped from Guantanamo’ when confronted with a survillence tape where he was driving one of the diggers, he responded, ‘Damn Cheney dared me to do it, just like the Iraq thing!’

On seeing what W. had done to his future home, Obama said, ‘That bastard Bush, when I asked him about the diggers, he said he was putting in a basketball court for me!’.

With World of Warcraft latest expansion pack released on the 13th November, entitled the Wrath of the Lich King, I thought it would be interesting to look at World of Warcraft Gold (WoWG) as a currency against exisiting nations currencies and see how it’s doing. The current exchange rate is 1 US Dollar buys you 59.88 World of Warcraft Gold.

Given that exchange rate, it makes World of Warcraft Gold more valuable that these nation currencies!

Japan : 1 WoWG = 1.63 Japanese Yen
Nigeria : 1 WoWG = 1.99 Nigerian Naira

“Top Play: Time to buy Iraqi Dinar” ~ The Friar

With the current exchange rate between US dollars and Iraqi Dinar being 1:1173 and the Bush presidency coming to a close, W. has left quiet a legacy in Iraq. However, the Bush administration do not want the Iraqi people to forget about their savior and have, in a bold move with the Iraqi Central Bank, released a new Dinar note, embossed with George W.

Bush's Iraqi Dinar

When asked how much it’s going to be worth?, one Iraqi Central Bank insider said, “It’ll be cheaper than toliet paper.”
