There was a time you could go months, even years, without seeing the number trillion. Now the number occurs nearly every day, especially when the economy is in the news. I hope we never see the same thing happen to quadrillion.
(Full disclosure: I wrote this before realizing the exclamation wasn’t just punctuation but a math operator. But I stand by my point.)
This morning’s “Andertoons” with the factorial-billion joke has been replaced. Now it shows three empty panels, the last with the caption “COMING SOON. . .”. Tune in tomorrow.
