Huh?

Ok, so, we have a gentleman who calls regularly (once or twice a week?) for specific information from a specific website (he knows the URL), and from a specific place on the website (he knows exactly where on the page this info is located). He says, "Please go to U.S. National Debt Clock at http://www.usdebtclock.org/, look toward the middle of the page, under the section that starts with US Gross Domestic Product, then look for Gross Debt to GDP Ratio." "Yes?" I say, "I'm there." "What are those numbers for the Gross Debt to GDP Ratio?" OMG....how do you quote numbers that are going up by the second? I tell him the numbers, and I also sy to him, "The numbers are changing by the second as we speak." I don't know why I bother telling him this, he obviously already knows this. He thanks me politely, then hangs up. It makes me wonder what in the world does he do with that information?
