"Overhead projector"

[ciphergoth]

This is a Zeiss STARMASTER ZMP star projector - $3M of the most advanced star projector in the world. It reproduces the positions, colours and magnitudes of stars with stunning, unprecedented fidelity, and is so precise that it can project deep sky object images which are only visible with binoculars (yes, binoculars inside the planetarium).



This is an overhead projector.

It seems John McCain can't tell the difference.

There's a counter of the US national debt in Times square - which stood around 8 years ago at $5 Trillion.

Now it's reached $10 T,and they've had to hack a '$' sign onto the front of the number - they'd run out of room on the actual display for it. On the bright side, it's now good for $99,999,999,999 - though they'd have to move the new $ sign left a bit to see all of the first number.

...and when hyperinflation hits, they can just put a "$10^" in front of it.
