You know inflation is skyrocketing in your country when you have to introduce the $100 Billion banknote. The poor residents of Zimbabwe (despite most of the country being billionaires, they are indeed dirt poor) such astronomical inflation that they literally bring wheelbarrows full of cash to market to purchase basic groceries. In fact, the new $100 billion note only gets you some fruit. Rather than address the root causes of its inflation, the government of Zimbabwe responds by issuing more currency, and at higher and higher denominations. I’m assuming that their government is readying the trillion dollar note, and eventually the Googol dollar note.
But hey, the new bill at least gets Earth off the hook easily with Dr. Evil, no?

We just finished another fun week at the Lair. It was so nice to unwind, see our friends, let the kids run amok, and hang out in the mountains. Here are some pics, and click thru for a special vid…
I've become one of those people that constantly wears a wrist support for carpal tunnel syndrome. One week later, I still need it. Crap.
