Money on that scale looses all meaning except for being able to say you have more than someone else.

I hear the University of Toronto is also working on a freeze ray and an automatic stamp licker. I'm glad US schools don't waste grant money like that! :)

@SAThorn: I had one exactly like that! And I got it on a field trip when I was 10. Thanks public school system!

@thinkthis: Yeah, but those rats had IT jobs and sat around all day too.

@Monty: You just equated HFCS to Al Qaida AND right wing fundamentalists. GENIUS!

Does the medical industry call it "weed"? They probably had to ban it because their network was getting overloaded.

I want to respond to some of the posts here, but I don't want to promote any of those bigoted comments.

I want to hug the person that made this. I fondly remember all the rainy afternoons spent drawing boxes and stairs and square-shaped circles.

@Adam Spano: Wolfram Alpha says there are about 312 million people with some form of hearing loss in the US. According to Answers.com, global sales of smart phones for the year 2008 reached 139.3 million devices. I think there could be a market.

@andrew_berge: A very subtle way to impress us all with the size of your display. Well done.

@typica1cat: What major electronic devices did they have back in 1859? Except for time machines of course...

@Phil Hare: Thanks now I do too...
