Welcome (?), a New Number
In an article I picked up in my wandering (Financial News, 23 March), there was a discussion of the derivatives market—by one measure, apparently it is $1,200 Trillion. If I'm not mistaken that's $1.2 Quadrillion, right?
Hey, I'm just getting used to "trillion"—I guess that's "so yesterday."
Welcome (?) ... Quadrillion!
God help us!

Why don't we agree that the new sum of our excesses will equal infinity minus one and get it over with?

I haven't heard the word trillion so much as I have in the last 6 months.
