Are Icelandic banks really run by the women now as John Stewart's guest says?

Sadly, no. As far as I am aware the gender ratios of the banks are pretty much exactly what they were pre-crash. He seems to have pulled this little factoid out of thin air.

Do Icelandic banks still exist? Thought they had lost everything?

Stinking banks still need to repay the Dutch and other Europeans.

CCP should move to Aus, no matter how bad the financial crisis going on, our banks only lose about 1/5 of their profit lol

Well apparently the high prices are because of the publishers setting them, not the wholesalers or retailers or even steam.

And apparently 1 AUD is worth 116 ISk.

Average IT wage in Sydney is about 65,000 AUD = $7,540,000 ISK p/a

Don't worry, the ECB will just print some more Euros to cover it.
