Yeah, it got millions of people into billions of dollars worth of trouble. Heh.

Earlier today I was reading an article somewhere (I think online) that had this little tidbit of information in it. I don't know how true this is because I haven't taken the time to check it out yet, but it's a scary concept if it's true:

Using $1,000 bills, one million dollars would be a stack of bills 4 inches high.
Using $1,000 bills, one billion dollars would be a stack of bills 358 feet high.
Using $1,000 bills, one trillion dollars would be a stack of bills 67.9 miles high.

If and when I can verify this, I'll let you know if it's really true or if it's just a big bunch of baloney.
