Shouldn't that be a trillion? Which of course only adds to the confusion with our own "triljoen", which is one milion times their tirllion (and they call a quintillion).
Oh so very confusing....
Edited by Huntard, : No reason given.

I hunt for the truth
I am the one Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand
My image is of agony, my servants rape the land
Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain
Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name
Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law
My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore.
-Lyrics by Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead
