    Kind of brings things into scary perspective. I thought I actually had a handle on what a trillion is, but then I saw that article that said something to the effect that a million seconds is 12 days and a trillion seconds is 38,xxx years.

    These banks are messing with a whole bunch of paper and we're on the hook when they get burned.

    Even those impressive infographics still do not carry the full comprehension of those numbers to the human mind.

    But it's a great start!
