  • How big? You could buy almost 2 million. Yes. 2 million brand new Lamboughini's. Given that they only make about 3000 per year, it would take you 666 years to buy them all.

  • If you had $700 Billion worth in pennies (which would be impossible as there are approximately only $2B worth of pennies in circulation), the stack of pennies would stretch 69,049,820 miles and weigh 218,750,000 tons.

    That stack would stretch to the moon and back over 143 times, or to Mars and back during Mars' closest approach to earth.

    You could also make a belt of pennies that wrapped around the equator that was 173 feet wide (pennies laid flat on the surface of the earth in this case).

  • The iPod is wrong. If they've sold 150 million ipods, then they are not 550 million too few, they are 699,850 million (or 699,850,000,000) too few.
