"Pennies" for your thoughts...
Feb. 12th, 2010 08:20 amI saw this picture of a penny pyramid in Wired, with the caption, "Call Mexico now for just pennies."
My first thought was, "I wonder if that's enough pennies to buy the G3 it's advertising."
( I believe I was correct. Check my math? )
This pyramid, if presumed to be made of solid pennies, would cost $565.76 to $728.96 to build. This, ladies, gentlemen, and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri, is a $650 pile of pennies.
And it's an ad bragging that a smartphone will make it cheaper to call Mexico. The irony is making it a little hard to breathe in here.
