THE FUNNIEST THING YOU WILL READ TODAY

Do yourself a favor...go read the whole thing here.
Iraq has a net zero immigration rate. Vietnam has a negative immigration rate. These rates were no doubt caused by Iraq's socialist and Vietnam's communist governments, which are vastly different, in that socialist nations are often ruled unfairly by one guy and communist nations are ruled unfairly by, like, as many as seven guys.

What's more, Vietnam's median age is an elderly 24.5 years old compared with Iraq's 19.0. Yes, the average citizen of Iraq is the same age as NBA star LeBron James, with but a fraction of his ability to take it to the hole. (Except Saddam, who did an excellent job taking it to the hole, as it were.)

Money is another difference between the countries. In Iraq, the traditional currency is the dinar. In Vietnam the currency is called the dong. According to the CIA World Fact Book, it takes 15,300 dongs to make a dollar.

(Did you know that the CIA keeps tons of information like this on its Web site? Way to keep things under wraps, CIA! Like every idiot who types the word "dong" into a search engine will never find your top-secret site.)
