    Europe Understood?

    For anybody who doesn't fully understand the Euro situation,
    it is explained very simply in the picture below........








    THIS IS BRILLIANT - and loopholes Europe in a "few" words

    Pythagoras' theorem - 24 words.
    Lord's Prayer - 66 words.
    Archimedes' Principle - 67 words.
    10 Commandments - 179 words.
    Gettysburg address - 286 words.
    US Declaration of Independence - 1,300 words.
    US Constitution with all 27 Amendments - 7,818 words.
    EU regulations on the sale of cabbage - 26,911 words

    Can't see the image.

    But if the EU had to produce documents using the same method as Moses' 10 Commandments then I'm sure the EU would be brief and to the point, probably.

    Very very funny! Thanks for the laugh.

    Heard on our news here (in Australia) that Italy may be on verge of same fiscal disaster as Greece, and that they will soon be going to the polls. I think they've had the 'pole'.

    Get rid of the Cooks; and Balance the Books. Fiscal nasties can take a toll on any planned budget

    Just brief and to the point I'm afraid. Not what the Daily Mail & Express try to make them.
    Probably using papyrus still maybe.
