MORE BOOK L'ARNIN': FUZZY MATH 101

I'll tell you, this paper just keeps getting funnier and funnier...
The Ledger,2/18/06, and I quote (headline):

'RadioShack to Close 7,000 Stores'

Which is fine of itself, but then the article goes on to say
that they are closing up to 10% of their 7000 stores, which
would be a total of?...7000?...7,000,000?...or possibly only
700...DUH! The even dumber thing is, not only did they add the
extra zero, but they added the (,) in the right place, therefore
admitting that they meant to put in 3 zeros, not 2.

And who says math isn't something you can use for the rest of your life...
Wait a minute!!
Apparently it's not!!
