Well, you can tell people you’re a trillionaire without lying.

A promise is a promise.

It would have been interesting to go into the bank in Harare, and say, i’m taking you up on your promise, and i want my 10 trillion dollars.

In $1 notes.

You’d have to go to a currency exchange for that, or barrer with someone outside your hotel. Both will laugh in your face.

Oh, no, i’d be ok with Zimbabwean $1 notes. Off you go, i’d say, start rounding up my 10 trillion bits of paper.

“It would take approximately 317,100 years to count to 10 trillion at a rate of one number per second, without stopping.“

I very much doubt Zimbabwe would have notes, or coins for that matter, in circulation that represent one trillionth of a USD

Well, they’d not want to waste any time in getting started, then.

That voice from Sesame Street who counts up to 12 would not like that job

You aren’t suggesting, are you, that Robert Mugabe’s government would fail to fulfil its promise? It says that they promise to pay me 10 trill Zimbo bucks. And that’s what i’d want: ten trillion Zimbabwean dollars. Ten trillion of them.

I wonder if some bright spark has thought of starting a website that features an AI reading out the value of π ad infinitum?

The QLD govt is rolling out Corella AI to all schools next year. If I get my hands on it, I’ll ask it to do just that 😈

A bit like “Readings from the Anthology of Huntingdonshire Cabmen”?

If i may quote from Vol. III of that esteemed work:

‘Chance, B., Harris, Arthur, Kermode S.S, .Vale, B., Manton, W.R., Caldecott, R., Lister, Tom, Robinson, B.l., Robinson, E.T, Prout, V., Garrison, F.J., Sladder, T.W.M.’.

The juxtaposition of the two Robinsons is a masterpice of style, as daring as it is impressive.
