It's official. I'm the 630,857,177 richest person on earth!
How rich are you? >>
This gadget has been in the upper RH corner of my home page for a few days, but I am really interested in what other people have to say about it. Wot to my wondering eyes, it turns out that even with my minuscule annual income, I am in the top 11% worldwide. And my BFF, who complains biweekly that she needs more $$, is in the top 1%. Worldwide!
I mean, I may be scraping the bottom of the barrel, but I'm at least IN the barrel! We really don't know just how good we have it here, do we? (That's the papal we....)
(This doubtless explains why I am overweight and have too much gunk in my arteries. I eat too much because I can afford it!)

ReplyDeletegah....i moved the text of the comment up into the post, but I can't get rid of the rest of it....
ReplyDeleteWere you to plot incomes in the US on a linear scale, it would NOT be a bell-curve, the curve would be L-shaped . Bill Gates et al. up there and the rest of us down here :-(
ReplyDeleteOT: Oh wow, on the previous post I was asked "Please prove you're not a robot" and asked to transliterate a captcha. The kaptcha was 'kapek" !!! How unlikely is that. WTF???
ReplyDeleteSo right! I've been realizing how rich I am for awhile. But we always want more. Sometimes I lie in bed at night thinking about how I can sleep safely and warmly (or coolly), I'm not hungry, etc. I feel guilty. The D.N.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I'm catching up on all of your January posts - so enjoyable!
welcome, welcome, DN. where have you BEAN??? (yes, i know i misspelled that.)
DeleteI must be rich because I can afford to splurge $5 on that shortbread pan in my last blog. And next time I'm going to forget the diabolical spray and hope there's enough butter.
ReplyDeleteAnd apparently being able to copy "suatesh" proves that I'm not a robot either.
Take. Me. To. Your. Leader.
@Shammickite,
Deletethe day there are belly-dancing robots is the day I hand in my Viagra prescription (I'm a Suatesh fan, BTW).
You amaze me. Only a fiver for that shortbread mold? Good buy!! In the auld days, it seems they'd dust the mold lightly with flour, press the dough in firmly so it caught the design well, refrigerate it for 15 minutes to help it firm up, then they'd turn the mold over the baking sheet and tap it lightly so the unbaked round fell out, then bake it. My mother had a springerle mold, but it was wood, not to be put in the oven, and that's how she did it.
ReplyDeleteanyway....You. Are. Funny. maybe the performers can arrange to dance like robots for your next community blowout?? Back to the Future and all of that....:)
Stuart: Suatesh seems to be very popular in Germany.
ReplyDeletehehehehe
ReplyDeleteYou do realise this is a monotonic function that works both ways?
ReplyDeletedo i realize....of course i don't! i am not the family mathematician....:)
ReplyDeleteAnon means he can deduce your income from your position on the curve.
ReplyDeletehahaha....if he has that much time, best of luck to him. my "income"...mad, hysterical laughter!!!
