Millions of Billions
Back in the olden days of my undergrad years, a microprocessor that executed a million instructions per second seemed pretty fast. Now there are chips that will do a few billion operations per second. (Multiple operations per instruction is one of the tricks.)
Doing some back of the envelope calculations today, I decided that if I had a processor that could do a million billion operations per second, I could keep it busy. So the when the sales guy said his 400 billion operations per second chip might be overkill for my project, I heartily scoffed.

M4ndy M00re is in a new flick called Ch4sing L1berty. It looks like a rip-off of Roman Holiday, 'cepts she's a Merkin in Yurope. What in g0d's name were they thinking? If ever a film deserved to be archived on nitrate, this is it.
Audrey, Gregory, cover your eyes. It's just too horrible.
150 Billion Dollars
$150 billion later, we finally caught the guy who had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11.
