    I have to admit that I can't be certain that you, Pauly, did not know you were at least inviting political comments in response, but you couldn't have had your coffee and not known that.

    In ignoring the obvious political implications of the OP (given the timing and text within the link), I'd like to recommend a book by John Allen Paulos: Innumeracy. Like the title sounds, it is a book about people not understanding numbers (e.g. that a billion is a hell of a lot more than a million).

    It's funny that most politically themed threads now don't devolve into fights about politics, but fights about the rules of Club Polk :D
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Maybe my brain is wired different. Im a visual kind a person. Didnt think when i posted the link it would turn political because i simply dont have politics on my brain. That is my defense. But NOW that i look back, well... Call me stupid or ignorant. Maybe im just too busy enjoying life and not churning my brain about political BS that is of no use to me.

    Hmm, based on all the past threads, I actually was not aware that that was one of the rules (no pol or religion). Therefore, I improperly transgressed and admit as much.

    However, I must also point out that I was not the first to make an obviously political comment in response to the OP, and, frankly, I believe that the OP was easily in violation of that rule, at least in spirit, and any denial of that would have to be tongue-in-cheek and based on a technicality, one which also would have excused my response.
    i.e. Why many people don't bother to come here any more........
    comment comment comment comment. bitchy.

    Nice post. Its amazing how ones mind can change (or at least improve the view) on something once it is put into a visual perspective. That is a lot of money becomes: That is a *** LOAD of money. Holy F****** CRAP that's a lot of F****** money! :D

    Side note: There first hint of ANYTHING political wasn't till post 4. :)

    You're really supposed to have more than 20 bundles of 100 one dollar bills before you start using pallets.
