(Zimbabwe dollar) Which will probably be just enough to get a cup of coffee today.

Just how far do people think this will go? A year for now will they be bringing out novelty sized banknotes to fit all the zeros on the note?

Eventually that country is going to sort itself out. Hopefully it won't be too violent.

Phobos · 07-25-2009, 02:21 AM

none of those african countries will sort each other out. the european union needs to expand its empire and africa would be a nice continent...

Scotty · 07-25-2009, 04:20 AM

kinda been there and done that. Not sure Africa wants us Europeans running their countries again. :/

solo1 · 07-25-2009, 02:01 PM

Hah!

Yeah. Only the historically illiterate would think that European domination is the solution rather than what caused the problems in the first place.

When this happened in the weimar republic, they called in herbert bayer to design bauhaus style banknotes
using the new typography
They\'re really beautiful
they sell in christies for a thousand dollars each-way now

On ebay-

http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/Herbert-Bayer...3%3A1|294%3A30

US $89.99

One of the few places being a Millionaire doesn't really help pay the bills.

Moshe.. · 07-25-2009, 04:41 PM

They should sell them as the whole collection set in auctions,
then it makes sense. A few trillion deutsche marks. Ebay always ends up being the most expensive place in the world.
You can try to ebay a pair of legendary
nike Air Max 1 OG
for the same price
but everyone always bids them up to £200

It\'s cheap if you go for stuff nobody ever bids for like puma
I got blue puma Tx 3s for £10 + £5 p&p, brand new
!

Europe actually paved the way fro Africa to become more modern. Look at South Africa for example or Ghana.... Fact is, the Africans don't know how to use their resources effectively because they are fighting too much. One needs to step in and take over.

As I said, historically illiterate, with a soupcon of underhanded racism for flavour.

Phobos · 07-26-2009, 03:13 AM

yes, i am illiterate when it comes to... wha!? no i am not. i was just playing around... you are too much of a quick-draw. also, i am not racist. the posts i made in this thread illicit irony, or was supposed to.

solo1 · 07-26-2009, 03:23 PM

Well they're perfectly in line with other posts you've made on this board. So either they're all "illicit irony", or this is one of the most embarrassing backpedals I've seen.

Phobos · 07-26-2009, 06:28 PM

nope... it isn't a backpedal but rather the contents of my posts in this thread were primarily ironic posts. sorry there little buddy, someday you will understand. ;)

You realise, of course, that attempts to be patronising make you look like a fool when the grammar/spelling/phrasing is wrong? Is that more irony? Or are you going to backpedal again?

You could probably power a small building from the amount of energy you're wasting furiously backpedalling all over this thread.

Phobos · 07-27-2009, 12:53 PM

i never backpedaled and why are you mentioning it when you agree that my posts contained within this thread are mere ironic statements? you are lashing out because you failed miserably labeling me a racist.

solo1 · 07-27-2009, 05:11 PM

No, I said you were historically illiterate, which is obvious. I'm not sure about your racism - which is why I said "a soupcon".

Also, if your posts were "illicit irony", why are you still defending them?

Phobos · 07-27-2009, 06:07 PM

you are really territorial solo1.

FireBird · 07-29-2009, 05:02 AM

I've seen better drama than this on Telemundo...

If my territory is common sense, or accuracy, then you are correct. Otherwise, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Phobos · 07-30-2009, 02:12 AM

you get emotionally disturbed when i post, you are always commenting on my posts or trying to berate them with some snide remark. you either A) are extremely territorial and see me as some type of threat, B) trying to prove yourself to me, or C) attempting to make yourself feel better... i could guess all three but i just chose territorial this time.

@firebird: yeah, unfortunately some members can't take facts and end up crying to the admins to ban me. this is all you get as i am restricted and can't actually insult people.
