#1 They're up to 11 zeroes already? I guess lopping off 3 awhile back didn't work out as well as they hoped. They'll have to start using scientific notation soon.

#3 Now Bob Mug-a-bee can claim that ZimBobWe has the most of billionaires in the world.

By a sheer coincidence, the Sumerian hell, Abzu, is thought that it was located in ZimBobWe.

#4 I see little humour in the PRINTING. The Zim solution is not unlike what we'll soon be seeing from our own government in support of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

#5 Remember that they are spending large amounts of real money to pay the krauts to do the printing. I'm amazed that ZimBob hasn't imploded yet.

#6 You see!
Get rid of white rule and you will all be millionaires!!!
If you ask real nice, maybe they will come back and "subjugate" you back to a healthy economy.

#7 Yup, you won't be Billionaires any more, but you'll have enough food to eat.

Choices, Choices.
