    ...a lakh is 100,000.

    You see, this is why they are beating us. For us to say "One hundred Thousand" it takes five syllables, for them at most two.

    Efficiancy, Folks, Efficiancy.

    Uh, no, it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm posting on Slashdot instead of working.

    Try this one you republican bi-tatch.

    Traditional republican tactics-
    1)Lie out the ass.
    2)when confronted with a counter argument, imply that the source is unreliable because it is not conservative enough.
    3)when confronted with mainstream sources, imply that they do not exist because they're not on your lap in a silver platter.
    4)when you're confronted with the raw facts in your lap, wave off the whole discussion as "no longer relevant" or "old news" then make up a new lie.
    5)Steal an election, tear up the constitution and wipe your ass on the flag. Then salute the confederate flag and export jobs to the 3rd world.
    6)No profit, but you already own everything so who cares as long as you keep your powerbase intact.
    7)Kill babies.
