Jeeze, why can't stuff be as simple as the movies sometimes.

Fair enough then. Credit to you for keeping an open mind and being willing to reconsider your original argument.

So Michael Douglas walks into a convenience store, right, and the Korean guy won't give him change for a dollar to use the phone. He says eighty-fie cent, Mike says, "You don't have 'vees' in your country?"
So he destroys the store with a baseball bat, pays 50 cents for the coke and leaves.

I love that movie. Now what have we all learned?

Koreans should be killed and you should buy coke for fiti-cent?

What the hell? He didn't kill him. You're crazy... but yes, the point was that the Korean thought the Coke was worth eighty-fie cent, whereas the American who thought he was terribly important on account of how much money his country had given the other, thought it was worth only fifty (plus it didn't give him enough change to use the phone to stalk his ex-wife).

Yes, top Korean scientists have calculated roughly how much money there is in the world, and now they`re asking for it. Good job, I say
