Thanks to all those who responded to the request to determine "all
the money in the world."  It looked like the world was in good shape
until uwvax!doug reported that he had -$13,700. Prior to his reply,
all the money in the world amounted to $1827.34 and
	2 Canadian dollars,
	2 English pounds,
	10 Israeli lire,
	1 Israeli shekel, and
	1 video token.

The new total however is -$11872.66 plus the above assortment whose value
is subject to fluctuations in exchange rates.  Therefore, the world
is operating in the red.  (Does this bode well for communism?)

So now instead of saying, "I wouldn't do that for all the money in
the world," you can more precisely say, "I wouldn't do that for
-$11872.66 plus the current market value of 2 Canadian dollars, 2
English pounds, 10 Israeli lire, 1 Israeli shekel, and 1 video
token."
