I was thinking about the currency we use here in Europe these days (the EURO) and i realised how stupid it is to name money after a soccer competition(lol).
But again, it is no more or less stupid than to name a country "South Africa". Wich is simply taking the name given to an ENTIRE part of a continent and use it on a single country. thinking of that, i never understood why people from Canada are Canadians and the people of the United States are "North Americans". Hell, last time i checked, Canada is even MORE north of America, hehe.
But back to the money thing. I find it so stupid that our governors keep telling US to cut on major expenses because THEY are on tight budget, That WE must prepare for a financial crisis because THEY have no money...and on top of it all: THEY have the BLOODY MONEY-MAKING MACHINES. Not Us, for god's sake...
Don't take this post too serious. I have too much free time. lol.
