What gets me is the ones always yelling for b*gs of cr*p over and over and over on every item. It does get annoying at times especially when real questions are asked about that wooted item. I appreciate it when my questions get answered and not have to go through so many posts about the dang cr*p.

White gloves included to handle the speakers? Hmmm.

Amazingly, this will be the fifth time I have listed it and no one has argued the math! I must have done it right!

Still waiting for a wonderful right brainer to make a graphic.......

This is a visual that everyone should 'see'.

And yes, the numbers are slightly off because I rounded at every level instead of just at the end, but you get the idea.

According to the United States treasury, a One Dollar Bill has a thickness of 0.0043 inches. One thousand One Dollar Bills would be one thousand times thicker -- 4.3 inches.

One million is one thousand thousands, so the thickness of $1,000,000 is 4300 inches. Converting to feet and this becomes 358.3 feet. A football field (American) is 360 feet (including both endzones).

One billion -- $1,000,000,000 is one thousand times thicker still or 358,333.3 feet. This is 67.866 miles, the driving distance from New York City to Milford CT.

One Trillion is one thousand billions – one trillion One Dollar Bills stacked one on top of another is 67,866 miles. The circumference of the earth at the equator is 24,901.55 miles. The $1,000,000,000,000 stack would circumnavigate the globe 2.73 times.

The proposed 700 Billion Dollar bailout alone would be a stack of One Dollar Bills stretching 47,506.2 miles, or 1.90 times around the globe.

A stack of One Dollar Bills totaling the current national debt cap of 10.6 trillion dollars would go around the equator 28.93 times. The proposed cap of 11.3 trillion dollars would go around 30.85 times.

Hmmmmmm......

There is no politics in this -- only information

Make your own political decision, but make an informed one!


BTW: Stupid Sansa didn't last long enough for me to make it home and I missed my Bandolier of Carrots!

My thoughts on this simplify to one question:

And...??

No one hates the newbs. They hate the newbs who've never bought anything, never consider buying anything, only grumble and/or bemoan fate for two days straight about how woot is screwing them by not putting up the Blogging Old CEO, and then spend the rest of the woot-off crying because they didn't get one. You can spot them easily, they have a clear box and threaten to NEVER EVER COME BACK EVER REALLY NEVER if woot doesn't put up another Blogging Old CEO just for them. Nevertheless, they're back the next time around.

Are you one of those people? No? Then no one has anything against you. Woot and the woot-offs have something of a community and we hate gold diggers just like everyone else.

what questions are open, will it work with Onkyo- yes, yamaha- yes, almost every brand on the planet yes- are they Bose-NO they are $100- Buy em if you want cheap surround, if you are an audiophile , save your pennies and go Bose, if you are hal an audiophile buy the POLK they sound great and won't kill your budget!!

You got a kittie in your Blogging Old CEO??? Neato!

These will look great in my son's room!

I wonder why the north western and central wooters were snagging these up like a frog in a cricket farm.

Wow...since when do they sell cats on Woot?

On the other hand, we dont pay our debts with one dollar bills. That would just be stupid.We use bonds to pay our debts, and let taxpayers cover the interest.

Haven't checked his math, but there appears to be a proportion problem between his billion ones going 1.9 times around the world and a trillion going 2.73 times. Needs to study logarithms and get his exponents right.

u r cat sure knows the value of a Blogging Old CEO.

I think its funny that most of the woots I've gotten were on non-wootoff days, and yet I've been watching this thing all day and most of last night. If all wootoffs have products similar to these I'm not to surprised people just sit on here waiting for the b o c.

No I'm not. I enjoy the banter and plan on getting this account up to speed. Just didn't want to be judged I suppose. Of course I haven't been complaing about Bombing Osama's Cave's either.

Well said. I met a long time wooter and a new wooter this morning all involved in fun conversation. No one posting anything about how horrible woot was. Even Kippy was around talking about the color of her hair - now if only they had a product for sale that color......

Yes he is. You'll notice that the pictures with Skyler have no monkies. He loves 'em!

So, I bought these. Randomly. Hopefully I can get them to work on my PC!
