Whoops.  If the Web site I was looking at bothered to use commas in
numbers, I wouldn't have made that mistake, but 250000 looks distressingly
like 25000.

It's like if you meet an really old, really rich guy covered in liver
spots and breathing with an oxygen tank, and you say, "I want to be
rich, too, so I'm going to start walking with a cane and I'm going to
act crotchety and I'm going to get liver disease. --Wil Shipley
