#2 Now we know exactly how much Zim is worth. More than I thought, really. China should lowball the offer.

#10 Notice that he didn't ask for it in Zim-bucks, but in real money.......

Also gotta wonder how many Ziminites(Zimbeans?) read the Herald to even know that Bob's a-beggin', what with bread costing so much and all, probably hard to scrape up the necessary 25k Zimbucks to buy a copy.......
