I thought this might be interesting having one of these around.
Just post anything on the news (TV, internet) that's going on right now. Serious, crazy, silly, or dumb! To start off... it's officially been 6/6/6 for 3 hours (Korean Time) and nothing fishy yet! edit: I don't care if you think this is a stupid idea or not. If it is, then just let the thread die and we'll go on with our lives. edit2: oh, and no spam in here like off-topic. i don't want this thread becoming trash. at least post something current-event related or related to someone else's topic.

QUOTE (impala454 @ Aug 1 2008, 12:34 PM) $0 adjusted for inflation is still $0. Look at the scale! Just because it's pretty damn close to the line doesn't mean it's $0, especially way back in the 1920's. Obviously, there's not much adjusting needed for the modern era, but there does seem to be some spikes around early 1920's, early 1930's, early-to-mid 1970's, and 1986-87. The very first spike, which seems to correspond to WWI, is easily representative of several billion dollars. QUOTE ("http://www.measuringworth.com/") Current data is only available till 2007. In 2007, $3,000,000,000.00 from 1916 is worth: $58,461,090,225.56 using the Consumer Price Index $41,541,358,581.06 using the GDP deflator $121,641,190,667.74 using the value of consumer bundle * $218,973,214,285.71 using the unskilled wage * $281,659,520,947.03 using the nominal GDP per capita $834,492,974,758.21 using the relative share of GDP Pick your scale and the numbers of today don't seem nearly as drastic. -------------------- Spam?
