Big Bottom lyrics by Spinal Tap:

The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin’
That’s what I said
The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand
Or so I have read

My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo
I’d like to sink her with my pink torpedo

Big bottom, big bottom
Talk about bum cakes, my girl’s got ‘em
Big bottom drive me out of my mind
How could I leave this behind?

I met her on Monday, ’twas my lucky bun day
You know what I mean
I love her each weekday, each velvety cheek day
You know what I mean

My love gun’s loaded and she’s in my sights
Big game is waiting there inside her tights, yeah

Big bottom, big bottom
Talk about mud flaps, my girl’s got ‘em
Big bottom drive me out of my mind
How could I leave this behind?

My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo
I’d like to sink her with my pink torpedo

Big bottom, big bottom
Talk about bum cakes, my girl’s got ‘em
Big bottom drive me out of my mind
How could I leave this behind?

These are pictures of ship breaking in Chittagong, Bangladesh.   These old ships are pulled ashore and then the work begins.  Unskilled labourers use mainly setaline torches to break down the ships.  The steel is then pulled or carried to trucks further inland. 

The labourers can make up to US $1.50 a day.  No safety equipment or standards.  The heat can be excruciating.  Tough days work. 

Western countries used to break down their own ships.  But dismantling a steel ship is costly with high union wages in European countries.  So the ship owners sell the ships to ship breaking firms in India, Bangladesh and China.

This has got to be the closest to earthbound hell that you can get.

 

The figures are in millions of dollars.  So the US GDP is fourteen trillion, four hundred and forty one billion dollars.  And Osama Bin Laden declared holy war on this leviathan?

The second chart is GDP per capita.  The bankers in Luxembourg are raking it in.

The gross domestic product (GDP) or gross domestic income (GDI) is a basic measure of a country’s overall economic output. It is the market value of all final goods and services made within the borders of a country in a year.
