Zimbabwe releases $10 million bill {Gadling}
Jan 29th 2008 2:57AM First off, it is technically illegal to bring the currency out of Zimbabwe. But they really can't do anything to stop you.
Second, you cannot get it at any foreign exchange. No way any exchange house will touch such a volatile currency.
I personally experienced the lunacy of all of this 18 months ago when I visited. I won $18,000,000 on a slot machine at Victoria Falls (about $70 at the time).
Always interesting when it costs you $15,000,000 for dinner.
Chef busted for first foie gras violation {Slashfood}
Aug 29th 2006 3:08PM Oh my God. Foie gras? Throw that chef in prison! If only we cared as much about people as we (apparently) do about ducks...
13-year-old wins eating contest against grownups {Slashfood}
Aug 29th 2006 3:05PM Was that buttered and salted?? How long did it take to floss all that corn out of her teeth afterwards too??
Would you light your kid's cigarette? {ParentDish}
Aug 6th 2006 11:41PM Big deal. With all the pollutants and junk in the air and in all of our foods we are so worried about cigarettes?? Sure they are bad, but I don't think cigs are giving 6 year olds Leukemia or liver diseases. If we are going to rant and rave about cigarettes, which are a matter of personal choice, shouldn't we be upset and ranting and raving about the invisible things that surround us that are killing hordes of people every day? Get a grip and feel free to come back to reality at anytime. And to my kid (if I ever do have one), if you want to smoke and possibly kill yourself, go right ahead. If I have to watch you die, I'll shed many a tear for you and it will kill me inside to watch, but you have to be free to make your own decisions. Hey Melanie! Light me one up too!
