I have 1,410,000 lei in my pocket! That’s the equivalent of $40, and may not get you much in most places, but it can go reasonably far here in Romania. Last night, for example, three rounds of darts (3 people each round), 6 racks of 8-ball, 2x 500ml beers, an espresso, a bottle of mineral water, and a tip for the bitchy waitress added up to a measly 440,000 lei ($13)… not bad!
On a sidenote, Romania’s equivalent of the TV gameshow “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?”, is called “Who Wants to be a Billionare?” Don’t be fooled though, one billion lei only converts to around $30,000.
That’s pretty cheap, they could atleast offer a Hojillion lei..

Or they could use exponentials (or whatever the word is I’m thinking):
eg “Who wants to be a 1x10^8 -aire?”

A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side. by internet casino

The body is not a permanent dwelling, but a sort of inn…which is to be left behind when one perceives that one is a burden to the host. by online gambling

I’ve never known such adversarial people as women philosophers. I certainly don’t think that they’re little timid creatures that can’t speak up in a seminar. Far from it - they sometimes dominate the scene. by world series of poker
