Yeah, basically he wants to put a big firewall on Australia.
It's far from certain he can push it through although it is to protect the kiddies so clearly anyone against it is a paedophile.0 -
If you took the $1 trillion and shared it equally between the estimated number of ants on the planet they would each get 0.5 cents.
However, if you divided the same $1 trillion between the estimated number of fish in the oceans, they would each get 28 cents.
Does that help any?
I really need to go to bed.
You have forgotten to account for administration costs.

With the nanny-state and police-state measures being pushed though all around the "Anglo-Saxon" world, I have this dreadful feeling we're heading for the sort of future predicted by the movie Demolition Man.0 -

If Jesus had been given a trillion pounds and there was no interest on it... and if he had spent £1500 a day - EVERY DAY - without fail from then to now (he has to be immortal in my story) ... then right about now he'd have just enough for a Big Mac.
Wrong. That would be the case with a billion (short scale, 10^9), not a trillion.
A trillion is either a million million (10^12), or a million million million (10^18).
Using the common 10^12 definition of a trillion, Jebus would need to spend in the region of one and a half million a day to be down to nothing today.0 -

One of George Bush’s staff informs him that 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq last night and he says:
My god how many is a Brazilian!0
