Read in The Economist that the largest Argentine bank note is 100 pesos, worth $11 at the official rate and $8 at the market rate.  Since most transactions are done in cash (to avoid taxes presumably), people have to carry around duffel bags of notes.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Or you use dollars you've been hoarding.

The aerial shots of Amalienborg Castle when the police gave way for the crowd to rush into the square was amazing. I feared for a palace revolution.

:weep:

King Christian stood by the lofty mast
In mist and smoke;
His sword was hammering so fast,
Through Gothic helm and brain it passed;
Then sank each hostile hulk and mast,
In mist and smoke.
"Fly!" shouted they, "fly, he who can!
Who braves of Denmark's Christian,
Who braves of Denmark's Christian,
In battle?"

The picture in No. 2 has been changed to one of Copenhagen. A previous version of this post showed a picture of Stockholm's skyline at night instead.
