I've found the $300 million battery!!! It consists of 24 lemons and a flux capacitor. My actuall name is Doctor Brown. E-mail me for blueprints.

Mugabe needs to be assasinated immediately. Anyone who thinks that Mugabe is a good person is foolish. The United States needs to send a drone over to shoot Mugabe in the head and then everything will be fine. He will die very soon!
