    Kuruş

    Kuruş (derived from the French gros, German Groschen and Hungarian Garas; Ottoman Turkish: قروش gurûş) is a Turkish currency subunit. Since 2005, one Turkish lira is equal to 100 kuruş. The kuruş was also the standard unit of currency in the Ottoman Empire until 1844, and from that date until the late 1970s was a subdivision of the former lira. It was subdivided into 40 para (پاره), each of 3 akçe. In European languages, the kuruş was often referred to as the piastre, derived from the Italian word piastra.

    Coinage

    The kuruş was introduced in 1688. It was initially a large, silver coin, approximately equal to the French écu, or, from other sources, to the Spanish dollar. However, during the 18th and early 19th centuries, debasement reduced the kuruş to a billon coin weighing less than 3 grams.

    At the beginning of the 19th century, silver coins were in circulation for 1 akçe, 1, 5, 10 and 20 para, 1, 2 and 2½ kuruş, together with gold coins denominated in zeri mahbub and altin. As the silver coins were debased, other denominations appeared: 30 para, 1½, 3, 5 and 6 kuruş. The final coinage issued before the currency reform consisted of billon 1, 10 and 20 para, and silver 1½, 3 and 6 kuruş.

    Maggots

    by: GWAR

    Vile forms of Necros lie rotting my mind
    Feasting like maggots - maggots in flesh
    So left your ruined cortex behind
    Now the maggot knows glee as it nibbles on your spine!
    [Chorus:]
    Maggots! Maggots!
    Maggots are falling like rain!
    Putrid pus-pools vomit blubonic plague
    The bowels of the beast reek of puke
    How to describe such vileness on the page
    World maggot waits for the end of the age!
    [Chorus]
    Beneath a sky of maggots I walked
    Until those maggots began to fall
    I gaped at God to receive my gift
    Bathed in maggots till the planet shit
    [Repeat chorus a lot]
