These are some really cool facts:

The cost of the Iraq war
2,949 Newton North High Schools – Most Expensive High School at $154.6 million
Free gas for everybody for 1.2 years – in America of course
Or go green (with ethanol) – 1/6 of the US money targeted for the Iraq war could convert all American cars to run on ethanol
14.5 million years through Harvard (44 million at UMass) – and probably like 100 million at SBU, hahaha. that’s a lot of full-scholarships!
Medicare benefits for one year
Feed the World’s poor for 5 and half years – that is something amazing, yet sad

What would you do with $465 billion?

I’d pocket a couple million (hehe) and give the rest for sadaqah/zakat/donations.

I’d support the NAVY with it. See, the NAVY works day and night to protect us from a possible invasion by
a) Godzilla
b) T-Rexes from Jurassic Park
c) Poisonous Jelly Fishes

They, like, really, like, deserve our support.

Boo, indeed. What a shame. In case anyone is wondering, a top-notch shawerma sandwich from Abu Rami’s in Cairo is the equivalent of about 50 cents.

$465 B = 150 Abu Rami shawermas for EVERYONE IN THE WORLD

Why would that be sad? Doesnt ‘150 Abu Rami Shawermas for everyone in the world’ mean Abu Rami will be richer than most of the oil-well-owning princes of that region?

Actually, according to Sheikh Ul-Internet, Wikipedia, this contract would grant Abu Rami a higher GDP than Egypt as a whole–by some $130 Billion.
