What's a Trillion $?

With our Gov't heads tossing around numbers in the trillions like they were skittles, I found this. Holy crap! http://www.pagetutor.com/trillion/index.html

I've seen this before. When I did, I tried to create a word document with 1,000,000,000,000 periods just to see how many pages it was. Needless to say, I didn't get close. My computer couldn't handle the HUGE copy/pasting.

Here's the one that did it for me: If you borrowed 1 Trillion dollars, and paid back 1 Million dollars a day with 0% interest, how long would it take to pay off the loan?

That would be 2739.73 years, if I'm not mistakin.

Assuming, of course, that you made those $1 million dollar payments 7 days a week.

Only 2,737.85079 years, actually. You forgot leap years.

I didn't forget. You've got too much time on your hands.

I did this one for myself.

Imagine a BB, just like you shoot out of your Daisy Red Ryder BB gun.

One million BBs forms a sheet 15 by 15 feet square.

One billion BBs forms a cube 15 by 15 feet square and 15 feet tall.

One trillion BBs forms a block the size of a football field 5 stories tall.

I find that hard to believe. Have you ever tried to stack BBs?

"I'm tellin' ya, no respect at all..."

Anyone know how much in US Currency is actually floating around in the world?

$3 according to my wallet the rest is Chinese

As I've said before: A trillion here, a trillion there, pretty soon you're talking real money.
