When Zimbabwe's central bank gave up on controlling inflation, its largest currency was the $100 trillion bill. It was barely enough for bus fare in Harare and not even worth the paper needed to print it. However, that $100 trillion note has turned out to be a great investment for several astute traders in London and New Zealand, who bought thousands of them at pennies on the trillion and now report brisk sales to collectors on eBay at US$30-$40 a note - a six-year return on investment, according to a report in London's The Guardian, of nearly 1500 per cent.

Sausage Legend is a smartphone game which involves holding a finger on the screen to build up power, then releasing to smack your opponent's sausage, trying to knock it off its fork. You start as a hotdog and have to battle other sausages to add other meat products to your arsenal.
