They used to have a big debt clock over Times Square a few years ago... but I think they replaced it with the Nasdaq tickers ;)

Les, Hmmmm, I wonder if the debt per citizen has ever been above the avg. national income? Of course it is, now that I think of it. A lot of those citizens are kids and they don't have jobs, lazy pre-school bastards. <g>

Might as well face it, you're addicted to ... Fears over nicotine water A bottled water spiked with nicotine due to go on sale in the US next month was today described as a risk to children by anti-tobacco groups. Nico Water is marketed as a cigarette substitute useful in restaurants, cinemas, on planes and other places when smoking is banned. "It takes away the desire for a cigarette and you don't have to feel like a second-class citizen or a leper anymore," said Timothy Owens, from manufacturer Quick Test Five. Described as tasting like tap water, but with a slightly peppery aftertaste, Nico Water will be sold in half litre bottles for £1.50. But the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids said it could easily act as a first step into addiction with children.
