Oops:  I `corrected' the $1.5 million / minute figure in the original
posting, based on numbers computed with a quick `bc'.  My correction
was wrong.  I am told that the world spends approximately $800
billion per year on the collective military.  Dividing 800 billion
by 525600 (approximate number of minutes per year) gives a bit over
1.5 million.  To quote the newspapers:  `I regret the error'.

Thanks to uiucdcs!scott for spotting this.
