NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THE DRAWER: Metrics, Schmetrics


Here’s how Reuters reporter Gilles Castonguay describes the Reventon, the very limited edition, super luxury sports car Lamborghini unveiled at Frankfurt's international autoshow: "What price exclusivity? If you ask, one million euros ($1.4 million) should do it - before tax, of course. … With the six-figure price tag, it is the most expensive car that it has ever built."

Not to castigate Castonguay, but whether you’re paying in euros or dollars, you’re forking over a seven-figure sum. Aren’t kids in Europe taught base 10 math?
