Wow, I'm shocked that something so full of such obvious bullshit and that is just another "email forward," is still on the most "read list" here.
I'm even more shocked that some asshole put up an entire webpage just to disprove this one specific email forward: http://www.randombits.org/display/RB/Fact+or+Fiction
But, admittedly, the most shocking of all might be that it never occured to the asshole dedicated enough to put up an entire webpage over this affair didn't think of the fact that he could just type 111,1111,111 x 111,111,111 into a spreadsheet to verify that it does in fact equal 12,345,678,987,654,3!

i really don't know what to say to this, except for pointing out that you're writing a rebuttal to a post that was written in 2002. Get a grip, man.

You want the answer to why Uber is what it is?
It's because it's made of people. And people, one way or another, are fucked up. They have fucked up traits, fucked up preferences, and fucked up interests.
Why was Anna Nicole Smith ever a celebrity?
Why is rap music so goddamn popular?
Why was a planet ever called "Uranus?"
Because why not. Because it can. Maybe just because you like it.
Point is, don't go trying to make Uber into something it's not. Uber isn't supposed to be some aristocratic website, where only the most elite and classy writers congregate. It's made of normal dudes, who form cliques, do stupid things, and just generally act like the dumbasses all humans boil down to being.
If you're too stupid, too naive to try and change us, then maybe you've got things backwards.

I checked your average rating and as of the time of this review, it was exactly 0.
That is pretty cool, it's like you inspire complete indifference.
Thus,
I wasn't sure how to rate this, since I thought such a rating entirely appropriate, and then I just decided to -2 it because it was a worthless piece of shit.

"Every day more money is printed for Monopoly than the US Treasury."
http://www.treas.gov/education/faq/currency/production.shtml#q1
"Question How much paper currency does the Treasury Department print every day? Where is it printed?
Answer The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) headquarters is located in Washington, DC. The BEP is responsible for designing and printing our paper currency. There is also a satellite production facility located in Fort Worth, Texas, which began operations in January 1991. The BEP produced approximately 37 million currency notes each day with a face value of about $696 million, and 45 percent of these notes are the $1 denomination. About 95 percent of the currency notes printed each year are used to replace notes that are already in circulation."

"Q: What is the breakdown of MONOPOLY game money?
A: Quantities and denominations found in standard editions of the MONOPOLY game: 20 $500 Bills (orange) , 20 $100 Bills (beige), 30 $50 Bills (green), 50 $20. Bills (blue), 40 $10. Bills (yellow), 40 $5. Bills (pink), 40 $1. Bills (white). Total amount of money per game = $15,140."
$696,000,000 / $15,140 = 45,971 monopoly games per day.
Monopoly was invented in 1935 (http://boardgames.about.com/library/faqs/bl-faq-monopoly-whenpublished.htm).
It's been around for 70+ fucking years - do you really think they're still selling 45,000/day or so? 16 million copies per year?
