Been stuck at $99.95 for 3 days. If somebody could buy one of those crappy .08 downloads, I could get my semi-annual payday out of them

Wow, are you joking? Since when did this become the pan-handlers forum? If you want more DL's, put the work in and earn them.

I got a laugh out of it.  And, I can relate.
The way it's been going for us lately you'll probably get $.04 for your next download.  ;)

Thanks, I'm surprised it is such a logical answer.

And next you'll want to know why a quarter is called Two-Bits?  ;D

If you take two sections of a piece of eight, it's two bits.

"There are seven denominations of Canadian coinage circulating: 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, $1, and $2. Though officially titled the One Cent Piece, Five Cent Piece, Ten Cent Piece, Twenty-Five Cent Piece, Fifty Cent Piece, One Dollar Coin and Two Dollar Coin; they are colloquially referred to as the penny, nickel, dime, quarter, half-dollar, loonie, and toonie, respectively."

The one dollar Canadian coin is called a Loonie because there is a picture of a Loon on them.  The $2.00 coin is called a toonie because it was released a few years afer the loonie.  Toonie rhymes with loonie and well... sounds like two loonies.   The $2.00 coin has the picture of a polar bear on it and who would want to called it a poonie.

it's a random and rare moment when you see a glimmer of Old Blighty left in Canada.
