But anyway random thought of the day...
The concept of money is stupid , the idea of the more" paper" notes you have the better off you are . Hmm
When you properly think about it , it is stupid

 

Its a great idea. If I work harder than someone else then I expect to be better off than they are. If everyone gets exactly the same no matter how much effort they put in everyone would just do the bare minimum so quality would decrease.

 

The idea of paper notes is not really any different than bartering. If you have a product or service that is worth more than someone else's then you would expect to get more in return when you trade. The difference with money is that it doesn't limit trade between the two people with the items that each other wants. Money is kind of a neutral commodity. No-one actually wants the note itself, they want what it can be traded for.

No that was just a spec of dirt on the camera lens when they took pictures of him.

My wife thinks that she has a "sixth sense". I wholeheartedly agree that she is right if it is named paranoia. She believes that she is being monitored by the US federal government.  Oh, wait...... O_O

Does anyone know how hot it gets inside a toaster?

When the starches reach 310 degrees Fahrentheit they start to carmelize (turn brown) - so the air in the toaster reaches at least 310 degrees Fahrentheit. The heating elements themselves, made of nickel-chromium alloy, can reach 1100-1200 degrees Fahrehneit

 

Do i get a prize?

310 degrees Fahrenheit =  154.44 degrees centigrade 

 

So what's my prize?
