Who Wants to Be a Quadrillionaire

#1 Post by danielh41 » Thu Jan 10, 2008 4:30 pm

I just read a story about an unnamed Hurrican Katrina survivor who is suing the government for 3 quadrillion dollars. How this person came up with such a large number is beyond me. I'm assuming that a lawyer somewhere filed to paperwork with that number in it.

So, what would you do with 3 quadrillion dollars?

Listening to NPR on the car radio, a reporter said that most of the claims were filed by individuals who filled out the paperwork themselves -- without legal advice.

If I had a quadrillion dollars (let alone three), I'd rent out a private room with a full-time nursing staff at the vet clinic so Annie always would have a place to go.

I was thinking that, with three quadrillion dollars, you could buy all the private property on the entire planet... maybe even more than once...

Buy a whole bunch of lottery tickets. If just one of them hits, you could be really really rich.

I believe I'd take advantage of that "Double meat Subway Sandwich" offer a bit more often.
