    Hey, I thought the conversion rate was one picture = a thousand words. Must be that pesky Argentine inflation again.

    There are also a few interesting videos about Rosario on YouTube. Well these days it would be easier to catalog what isn't on YouTube.

    Wow, that was weird! Believe it or not, I was still thinking in Japanese. In the Far East, the proverbial high number is 10,000. In speech, figures form groups of four in both Japanese and Chinese (for example, 1 million is expressed as "one hundred ten-thousands"). And I think the saying originally comes from Chinese. It all must have come directly from my subconscious. :)

    I particularly like conclusion to the Wikipedia entry for “A picture is worth a thousand words”:

    Following the old saying: "A picture is worth a thousand words", Ben Tamari added, as a combination of metaphors and fractals:

    'A metaphor is worth a thousand pictures'
    and
    'An allegory is worth a thousand metaphors'
