<<having many ratty little currencies in Europe was one of those minor but very irksome problems of life which added nothing to the quality of it>> <What's that make the Kiwi Dollar?! :)>
The mouse. But remember in The Mouse That Roared how they had the Q bomb which would blow up everything? [I'm stretching memories and I suppose few have seen it.] Well, the Q is going to blow up all the currencies. Kabbbbooooooommmmmm!!!
People thought the dot.bomb and the tech.wreck were big. Wait until they see what the Q does to the $, yen, shekel, kiwi, pound, rand, euro, rupee, yuan, pesos, real [now there's a funny name], rupiah, dinar, ringgit, zloty, ruble, riyal, won, baht, taka, franc [not the now extinct French version], pula, colon [hey, how about that one for a funny name - do they mean the end of the alimentary canal or colonisation?], and all the other expressions of nationalistic confiscatory power and control over people which are going to go the way of the moa and dodo when people break free.
Mqurice
PS: I got those from It. I don't know all the names myself. |
