I've seen this before. When I did, I tried to create a word document with 1,000,000,000,000 periods just to see how many pages it was. Needless to say, I didn't get close. My computer couldn't handle the HUGE copy/pasting.

Here's the one that did it for me: If you borrowed 1 Trillion dollars, and paid back 1 Million dollars a day with 0% interest, how long would it take to pay off the loan?

That would be 2739.73 years, if I'm not mistakin.
Assuming, of course, that you made those $1 million dollar payments 7 days a week.

Only 2,737.85079 years, actually. You forgot leap years.

I did this one for myself.
Imagine a BB, just like you shoot out of your Daisy Red Ryder BB gun.
One million BBs forms a sheet 15 by 15 feet square.
One billion BBs forms a cube 15 by 15 feet square and 15 feet tall.
One trillion BBs forms a block the size of a football field 5 stories tall.

As I've said before: A trillion here, a trillion there, pretty soon you're talking real money.
