Bro i’m So Glad you hit me up.

I did 300 million times 500 million.

Which bothers me. Because I did it for a while and it never hit me that the 500 million was supposed to a million

I guess it was just a brain funk but ever since head injury years back I get terrified at any sign of mental error.

gotta stop that.

But still, that’s a VERY ODD mistake.

Maybe it was late and I was tired.

I was wrong with the 300 million too :) didn’t know we were up to 327 million now.

thanks and have a great night

Well, when I first saw that Brian Williams had made that statement I accepted it. I’m sure I would have figured it out, but the very next sentence pointed out the error before I did.

I remember a story, possibly apocryphal, about a group of earnest do-gooding “share the wealth” advocates who visited Andrew Carnegie. They said that wealth should be evenly distributed, and it was terrible that Carnegie had so much,and others had so little.

Carnegie called his accountant and asked him “What is my net worth”, and “what is the population of the earth”. He asked the accountant to tell him what the first number was divided by the second. It came out to about 37 cents.

He told his accountant “I’m sending these men to see you. Give them each 37 cents. That’s their share of my net worth.”
