Just Thinkin...

Cash needed to lower food prices enough so that every hungry person in the world has enough to eat: $500 million.

Cash needed to maintain the stalemate in Iraq for 30 hours: $500 million.

  1. Africa Relief is asking for an extra 62 billion to cover rising food prices in their quadrant of one continent.
    Where do you come up with 500 million? A 'in a perfect world' type scenario?

  2. Dear Garth,

    Welcome to the internet. What you are looking at is a web page. On this web page, you will see that certain text is a different color and is underlined. On the internet, these are called "links". If you take the round thing on your desk called a mouse and use it to move the arrow on your computer screen over these "links", you can actually click on them and it will take you to another web page. Usually, people on the internet who "come up" with something... and that something is a "link"... make sure that you can use your mouse to click on it and find out where the author "comes up" with that thing.

    Again, Garth, welcome to the internet. I'm sure you'll find it a wonderful and exciting place. Enjoy yourself, and thanks for reading.

  3. I try not to fall back on the brain tumor excuse more than once a month, but I think I'm play that card as I can think of no other explanation for completely overlooking the links.

    BTW, your original Thailand blog made my transition here much easier and probably saved me more mistakes than I am even aware of.

    Thanks.

  4. No problem Garth. It gave me the opportunity to practice my sarcasm a little bit. Thanks for that, and glad you enjoy the blog.
