It takes about 7 gallons of oil to create enough chemicals and energy to make a typical auto tire! Termites invaded a bank in Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh, India, and chewed through about 10 million Rupees ($225,000) in cash! Ron White of La Crosse, Wis., USA, estimates he has amassed a collection of dragons worth $250,000!

“White thinks he has upwards of 1,500 dragons. He hasn’t counted. He is pretty certain it could be a world record.
He’s not sure if Guinness has a category, or how to check…
…If nothing else, he’d like to get the attention of Ripley’s Believe it or Not."
I guess Ron White at least got THAT wish granted!

Large dragons—- maybe a problem. Komodo dragons are real enough, you can buy them at certain pet stores I think.

Don’t know about India, but ashes etc of badly damaged US notes can be at least partially redeemed by a certain government agency.

India needs another medium of exchange. The rupee has too many ‘bugs’ in it!

‘Oil’ say it’s no wonder that ‘a typical auto tires’ with all that work involved.
