I'm not sure if the word is "pathetic" or "bathetic," but here's the sad punchline from a story on Zimbabwe's economic crisis:
Zimbabwe's inflation rate accelerated to a new record high of 7,982.1 percent year on year in September from 6,592.8 percent in August, the government's Central Statistical Office (CSO) said on Wednesday.Good thing they added on that extra 0.1% inflation. Somebody might have headed to the supermarket with only 12 wheelbarrows full of currency.
