Exciting news came over the wire today stating that the U.S. Mint will be producing new pennies, which will somewhat chronicle the life of Abraham Lincoln, who spent most of his after-life, engraved on the penny's face, which actually isn't a "penny" at all, it's a 'one cent' piece, but no one seems to care or pay attention to the difference. The fact is, a penny is a Canadian one cent piece, which is actually called a "penny," where as the American "penny," is called 'one cent' as it clearly states on the back of a penny... I mean a one cent piece... so go ahead take a look, you'll see.
Anyway... As we quickly reach President's Day, the government is going to be producing new 'one cent' pieces to celebrate the long life of Abraham Lincoln who is now about 200 years old.
Along with new quarters for every state, and new dollars with weird colors and new credit cards that are to be surgically implanted in customers' hands, it's looking a little more odd in America than it did yesterday.
Hell, I remember when money was green, and spare change was gold and a soda only cost a dime plus you got free cocaine in em, and video games were 2 bits, and newspapers were given out by poor children on street corners and giant lizards stampeded our villages from time to time, breathing fire and eating friends and families as they continued their rampage... ah, those were the days.
