No wonder the Germans destroyed Poland. 1 Bear > 1 horse in a fight, but 1 bear < 750000 horses in a fight.

What if the bear was a little buzzed and rippin heaters? How many horses could it take?

your article is wrong. i googled the numbers because i heard a (great) podcast that lolled @ the media for doing the same thing w. regard to apple vis a vis apple being = to the gdp of poland. you can't trust the media on anything, ben ji. they are stupid and lazy. except the media that did the podcast, they're great.

samsung market cap = 198 million
south korea gdp = 1120 million

= 17.7 %. sorry ben ji, do the math.

What you are saying sounds correct but I dont feel like admitting defeat so I'm going to choose to believe the well respected 84 yr old Business Magazine over a poster on a random blog site.

If you combined the total weight of every electron that is whizzing around creating the internet. It would only weigh as much as a strawberry.

In colonial times, all the prostitutes in town would stand on one street to save johns time. This practice is why every town in America has a street called "Broadway."

Eskimos have 37 words for snow. The theory being that since they see so much of it, they obviously have more ways to describe it.

i have a dumbass cousin who posts a "fact of the day" on his facebook, and these are some of my favorite ones. 99% of what he posts aren't true. but he's probably not trolling, he's just a dumbass.

The theory behind the statement is sound but the US invaded Panama in 1989 and they had McD's. Also bombed Yugoslavia/serbia/whatever in the 90's.
