World's Richest Governments

World's Richest Governments

We know the world's richest man is Carlos Slim Helu of Mexico, 

After the two richest men in the world , Bill Gates n Warrent Buffet , gave away most of their fortune to charity ) 

You'll have to check with Forbes for the rest.

How about governments?

Which government is the richest (having most money that is, in US$)?

If you are expecting North American and European nations, wrong .........

While the countries may look rich, wealthy European nations can't withstand a prolonged major financial crisis, just like Greece.

The USA might have the biggest economy, but the American government is not at all rich;

(in fact, it can't even take out US$150bn if asked to now without resorting to borrowing.)

To date the US government has borrowed $14.5 trillion!

The UK, likewise, while the country/people are well off, the government isn't. 

The UK government's debt stands at $9 trillion now!

The World's Richest Governments immediately after the 2008-2009 financial crisis are: -

1.    P R of China

National reserves: $2,454,300,000,000

A Mail from a frustrated victim of chain mails!

I wanted to thank all my friends and family who have forwarded chain
Letters to me in 2004 & 2005.

Because of your kindness:

* I stopped drinking Coca Cola after I found out that it's good for
removing toilet stains.

* I stopped going to the movies for fear of sitting on a needle infected
with AIDS.

* I smell like a wet dog since I stopped using deodorants because they
cause cancer.

* I don't leave my car in the parking lot or any other place and sometimes
I even have to walk about 7 blocks for fear that someone will drug me with
a perfume sample and try to rob me.

* I also stopped answering the phone for fear that they may ask me to dial
a stupid number and then I get a phone bill from hell with calls to
Uganda, Singapore and Tokyo.

* I also stopped drinking anything out of a can for fear that I will get
sick from the rat feces and urine.

* When I go to parties, I don't look at any girl, no matter how hot she is,
for fear that she will take me to a hotel, drug me then take my kidneys and
leave me taking a nap in a bathtub full of ice.

* I also donated all my savings to the Amy Bruce account. A sick girl that
was about to die in the hospital about 7,000 times.(Poor girl! she's been 7
since 1993...)

* I went bankrupt from bounced checks that I made expecting the $15,000
that Microsoft and AOL were supposed to send me when I participated in
their special e-mail program would arrive soon.

* My free Nokia phone never arrived and neither did the free passes for a
paid vacation to Disneyland.

* Still open to help some from Bulgaria who wants to use my account to
transfer his uncle property of some hundred millions $.

* Made some Hundred wishes before forwarding those Ganesh Vandana
,Tirupathi Balaji pics etc.. now most of those 'Wishes' are already
married(to someone else)

And the best Mother Award goes to..........

In a zoo in California , a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs. Unfortunately, due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size, they died shortly after birth.
The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate another mother's cubs, perhaps she would improve.
After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother. The veter inarians decided to try something that had never been tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of one species will take on the care of a different species. The only orphans" that could be found quickly, were a litter of weaner pigs. The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the babies around the mother tiger
Would they become cubs or pork chops??????? ??????
Take a look........ you won't believe your eyes!!!!

World's most Yummy looking Cakes!
