It could be worse, department:
Hows 231 million percent inflation?

This is a lighter note as long as you have nothing to do with Zimbabwe:

Old Mutual Plc, the largest
insurer in Africa, said it is
delaying dividend payments to
Zimbabweans because the
country’s banking system cannot process the
zeroes involved in the transaction.
“The banking system in general is having
difficulties with the size of the numbers
involved,” a spokesman for London-based Old
Mutual told Bloomberg this week. “It takes a
while to get these through.”
The Old Mutual first-half dividend amounts to
453 trillion Zimbabwean dollars, the company
said in a statement to the Johannesburg Stock
Exchange. The dividends were due today and
will be paid once the “difficulties” with the
bank system have been resolved, it said.
Zimbabwe has the world’s highest inflation
rate, estimated at 231 million percent, spawned
by a decade of economic recession that caused
shortages of food, fuel and other basic
commodities. On the black market, where most
Zimbabweans buy their foreign exchange, the
rate is 230 trillion against the U.S. currency.
