Ever wonder how many words you can spell with the letters in your name?
Counting Bill's bills
A favourite subject of people in Hong Kong and China and many others is how much money Bill Gates has. Most of us would think that US$30 billion would buy the extended family a few meals at the nearest dai pai dong. Well, there are other ways of measuring Bill's bills. If you used $1 greenbacks and laid two of them down on the ground per second, it would take you 483.14 years to put all of his money in a neat little row. http://evan.quuxuum. org/bgnw.html
Mock 'n' roll

The folks at the Richmond Organisation have no sense of humour. The owner of publishing rights to Woody Guthrie's music said an animation mocking George W. Bush and John Kerry is an infringement of the organisation's rights. The song is This Land is Your Land. Thankfully, the JibJab animation, This Land, is still on the Web. It is fun and takes the mickey out of Mr Bush and Mr Kerry. The original site is www.jibjab.com/ but there a larger image at http://images2.shockwave.com/ afassets/flash/this_land.swf
