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.

93 billion platters from the Chicken Guy (mmmm….)
actually, Youssef… only 77.5 billion platters. they raised the price to $6.. booo
I know.
I forgot to make a blog post about that.
I’d buy an island/ country and turn it into my very own Islamic State
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
That sounds like a great idea!
poor abu rami…theyd have to stay up all night making sandwichs!
Dang. That is sad.
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.
=P Lol.
You have waaay too much spare time!!
