Straffo,

It's anti-french 'world' right now, so everything wonderful can exist, even without the french goverment knowing about it

Just like during the commie hunt.

The lack of a sense of humor and the self proclaimed wisdom of some is equally extraordinary....don't ya think?

It would have been funny if it was Canadian currency you were talking about. It might have been actually had a toe in the land of accuracy, rather than been a permanent resident in the capital of the land of Wrong.

Where the hell did you guys come up with "Quid" anyway?

Dowding · « **Reply #22 on:** April 22, 2003, 10:17:28 AM »

Apparently a squid cost exactly 1.25 pounds back then. So a quid costs exactly one pound, because only four letters are used, and not 5. Obviously, with inflation and things, the literal comparison is no longer valid, so other words had to be used - such as sponduleys etc.

I read that in a book once.

Why the hell did we come up with "buck"?

Damn... a perfectly good opportunity to bash the French, and more to the point... straffo, has been squandered on petty squabling over the worth of international currency.

Could this be a sign that the subject is growing old? Could this be a sign that most people are getting tired of straffo instigating a fight and then screaming that everyone is picking on him later?

Dunno... but it sure looks that way.

BTW straffo... it might have been a good idea if France would have made a conscious decision to cut their losses a while ago. Remember... it was a French buisnessman that made the decision to loan Iraq even more money despite being 49b Euros in dept already.

The desire to make a buck at all costs means you deal with the consequences of your decisions.

That was cute....now tell me, where exactly is the land of Wrong?

Dowding · « **Reply #26 on:** April 22, 2003, 10:27:17 AM »

On the other side of the world to the land of accuracy, of course. Keep up with my lame analogy.

The lame part I understood from the start....it's the details which confuse me to tears.

Stay strong! Don't let it get to you, soldier!
