NYT: Wal-Mart Pulls in $20k of Profit a Minute

By the time you finish reading this, Wal-Mart will have raked in $20,000 in profit (yes, that's profit -- not sales), according to an interesting article in Sunday's New York Times.

"It recently reported that for the latest fiscal year, it had profits -- not sales, but profits -- of $10.3 billion. But, of course, that's one of those disembodied corporate numbers that mere mortals with $307.63 in their checking accounts can have trouble getting their minds around."

I'd like me a piece of that!

A piece? I'd want the whole thing man.
I would have made almost $200,000 while typing this in.
