13. Here's what's truly funny
Edited on Fri May-02-08 02:34 AM by krispos42
360,000,000,000 dollars requires at least 3.6 billion $100 bills.

Each bill weights one gram, so that 3.6 billion grams. Or 3.6 million kilograms. Or 3,600 metric tons. Or 4,032 US tons. Or about 160 tractor-trailer loads.

What was his plan??? "Here, just fill up my trunk. I'll make a few round trips."


That's 248,073,192 cubic inches of money, or 143,561 cubic feet, or 5,317 cubic yards. It's a cube 52'4" on a side.

For reference, your average 4-person hot-air balloon has a capacity of about 100,000 cubic feet!

I almost wish they had the money for it on hand, just to see the expression on his face!

<on edit: it's also about 1/3 of my entire freakin' apartment building!!!>
