Was going to correct subby's/article's conversion factor until I realized we were talking Aussi $ and not real $.

Dang, the last 8 years have been even worse to the US than I realized.

Somebody took the business lesson of "find an untapped market and fill it" to the extreme.

162.00 AUD = 150.282 USD

Parity is close

That's Australian dollars. It's $149.47 in U.S. dollars.

That's because the dollar (monopoly bailout money), hasn't started to be used to bailout India yet. You know, the place all of our off-shore infrastructure support comes from now. When our administration starts throwing more monopoly money from the iou place at India's bail0out, the dollar will go to an exchange of at least 4 to 1. We'll win that war also!

That'll teach us.

Yup. Totally didn't think that was the answer on Bluff the Listener (although it seems I rarely get that game's answer correct).

It seems like since listening to that show, I've seen this article about ten times. But that's a theory for a whole separate thread.

No human sized hamster ball? That's a deal breaker.

Good. Those of us who earn wages in euros or british pounds make an absolute killing in exchange rates. We can fly places and take vacations for a fraction of what it costs Americans.

We have them already. It's Cirque du Soleil. Or anyone that rides a motercycle in a cage. Sans hamsters.

except, at least where I live (Bayern), everything is so expensive in DE. It doesn't help that my boss is an Egalitarian.
