take that, weimar republic inflation!

100,000 percent?!?! donde los yikes...via bbc news:

Zimbabwe's chief statistician has said it is impossible to work out the country's latest inflation rate because of the lack of goods in shops.

"There are too many data gaps," the Central Statistical Office's Moffat Nyoni told state media.

Many staple goods are often absent from shop shelves after the government ordered prices to be halved or frozen in a bid to stem galloping inflation.

September's inflation rate was put at almost 8,000%, the world's highest.

Other reports suggest the rate could be at near 15,000% and the International Monetary Fund had warned it could reach 100,000% by the end of the year.

you hadn't taken it away by now?!

yeah, this comes a tad late...about 15 years and thoudands of lives too late. next they'll be giving dear leader a degree for his services to korea.

"Edinburgh University's Senate has agreed to strip Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe of his honorary degree. It comes after years of campaigning by politicians and students because of Mugabe's brutal regime. In 1984 Robert Mugabe was honoured by Edinburgh University "for services to education in Africa."

is 1000% inflation, starvation, and one-party domination a service to africa? apparently it is to the scots. odd.
