[url=http://www.sltrib.com/2003/Jun/06142003/business/66076.asp}Judge approves CD settlement So how will you spend your $13? Really, all this fuss and we end up with a $13 rebate? I figure I bought between 500 and 1000 CDs in the years covered by the alleged price-fixing. Meaning I’ll be getting back a maximum of 2.6 cents per CD. Now admittedly I didn’t pay full price for many of those CDs, but if the prices were fixed it was probably ore than by three cents a pop. Oh well, I guess given the choice between having the $13 and not having the $13, I’ll take the cash. ---

Is that 13 US dollars? If it is, that works out to be approximately AUS $5,998…in which case I’ll buy a hell of a lot of new shoes for winter. ---

It’s about $20 AUD. It’s also just under £8 I’d visit KFC (large 3 piece meal, and a fillet tower (not meal)) ---

> [@](#): > > I’d visit KFC (large 3 piece meal, and a fillet tower (not meal) Say, there’s an idea! I could get three three-piece chicken strips meals and use the extra dollar to solve the riddle of the missing dollar. What’s a “fillet tower”? ---

It’s a fillet burger with a hash brown[sup]\*[/sup] on it. Never in the existence of the human race have the employees managed to get the hash brown to be level with the fillet. It is usually on one side, this makes the burger incredibly messy to eat. But eat it I surely do.
