Okay, did you know that "Baron" isn't his middle name?
His last name is "Baron Cohen."

Yes. They're a ridiculously talented family. Why are you trying so hard to impress with the Baron Cohen knowledges?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I have a stupid question.
If an amount of euros is written as 750.000,00 (with that exact punctiona and number of zeros, would that be 750,000.00 as we format/punctuate monetary amounts in the U.S?
