Here's what a million pennies looks like:

The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

I wonder how many little creepy crawlies occupy that?  .....

  now, time for that person to go to the pennies slot machines at the casino or something. :P

Sportsdude

wouldn't that be only a thousand dollars?

I haven't used pennies ever, or coins for that matter until yesterday when I had to put in money at the parking meter.

wouldn't that be only a thousand dollars?

No, it would be $10,000. (A million is a thousand * thousand.)

oh, I failed math in high school. Damn teacher told me just to give up during the second semister because "you were going to fail anyway" what a bitch.

You meet more of them in schools than in kennels.

Sportsdude

Should have never gone to that place in the first place. Filled with bunches of druggies and it made me stupider. Although telling a teacher she couldn't teach the history class and that I could teach it better didn't help much of my cause.

Speaking truth to power is never appreciated!

Yeah especially when I hand here a project and 5 mins later she says she 'never recieved it' and gives me an F.

  Plus she'd go into anti-abortion and pro-republican dieatribes every once in a while which then I would respond "What does this have to do with World War II?"
"We can't stop here. This is bat country."

purelife

Oh, that teacher would drive me nuts.

  I so dislike how people (of authority) abuse their freaking power like that.  She is an insecure bitch, SD.  Don't mind her.  Past is past....someday, she'll regret she'd ever spoken to you like that!

Sportsdude

well I don't go to that school anymore, so no it doesn't bother me that she tried and failed to fail me.
"We can't stop here. This is bat country."

purelife

That's good to know that she doesn't bother you anymore.  

  She's bothering me now...oh that bitch!  

  Okay, I'm good now.

OMG i want that!!! if i can role about 50$ an hour in pennies, i would spend the next  833.3 days rolling pennies  and take them to all teh banks across canada.

  then after i cash out im goin to buy a pet pig, and some other stuff.
lets go with teh milk?

The most I rolled was $27, :-P     Never again.

Those were all the pennies that few old students that have graduated (ex roommates of friends) - all contained in a shoe box.

  While stacking them up for rolling, I actually got a good pennies collection out of it, some 1920s ans 1930s and complete 1940s onward. Few years ago I caught my little one taking many of those pennies and putting it on the piggy bank (aaaarrrggghh).

  For Canadian penny, 1967 has a special design, a dove, I guess it is to commemorate the centenial celebration of Canadian Confederation - wow, lot's of Cs!

  Canada doesn't have Independence day (no fighting taken place in the making of the Canada as a country).

Sportsdude

Yep Canada home of the peace doves.

Although Canada's the only country to burn down the white house.

They did that after America attacked York (Toronto) in the War of 1812. This caused the capital to be choosen up north a little ways because orginally they wanted Kingston Ontario to be the capital.
