Thieves in Brazil have made off with a staggering amount of moola. The interesting thing is not that somebody stole US$68,000,000. It's not even the simplistic modus operandi (ala The Italian Job & just about every heist flick from Hollywood). The biggest joke is that taxpayers will have to bear the loss due to an insurance snafu.

US$68,000,000. Let me imagine...
= S$1,19,000,000 @ US$1 = S$1.75
= 47,600,000 packets of chicken rice @ S$2.50 each
= 793 luxury cars @ S$150,000 each
= 34,1954 iPod Minis (4GB) @ S$348 each
= 11.6 hectares of S$10 notes covering half of the Jurong Bird Park
= 166,600km of S$10 notes circling the equator 4 times (equatorial circumference ~40000km)
