    Really? Could it have been a disgruntled house holder?

    Share holder with 9 shares kills 50 billion $$$$$$ executive pay

    Triva in so many ways. Just 9 shares enabled the legal action to stop more than USD$50,000,000,000 pay deal for this year for the CEO of Tesla!

    Other Triva is technically the law firm that did that could claim 19 billion if fees!!!!!! Not likely it would be paid that much.

    Other head line for the same bit is "Jan 31 (Reuters) - A Delaware judge has tossed out Elon Musk's record-breaking $56 billion Tesla , opens new tab pay package, calling the compensation granted by the EV maker's board "an unfathomable sum" that was unfair to shareholders."
    3rd bit of Triva is typing BILLIONs in zeros is FUN

    Until you opened the Gate %$#@&^%$@! WTF!

    I suspect potential Olympic Sprinters use these for practice runs. Sort of "Beat the Clock" stuff.

    I had some Arnott's Arrowroot bikkies, spread with butter and Vegemite, for 'Smoko', this a.m.

    I'd forgotten how good they are like this! It must be nearly 60 years since I had this treat.

    There's a good reason for that. Arrowroor biscuits serve a single purpose, crushed with Arnotts Nice biscuits, to make a cheesecake base.
    As you have proven, Vegimite makes even cardboard palatable.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    That's a little rich, coming from someone who admits to eating Spam... and donuts. Doughnuts are acceptable, sort of.

    Lemme spoil this for you good fellows. And during that time the recipe has changed (USA) & Vegemite has been taken over by others (USA) but if they still taste the same then WTF?
