Even $23,000,000,000,000,000 isn't enough for that.

Id wear a pink shirt with a rhinestone collar for that sort of money.

Only one question "Are you in favour of universal healthcare"?

The correct answer is yes. 'No' answers get you deported.

no.

Whoo hoo!

can't wait till your universal healthcare passes.

then I can have the US pay for any and all health costs I incurr while I'm living in another country.

after all, you said Universal, not National. :p

NEW YORK (CNN) -- A technical snafu left some Visa prepaid cardholders stunned and horrified Monday to see a $23,148,855,308,184,500 charge on their statements.

That's about 2,007 times the size of the national debt.

Josh Muszynski, 22, of Manchester, New Hampshire, was one Visa customer aghast to find the 17-digit charge on his bill. Adding insult to injury, he had also been hit with a $15 overdraft fee.

He noticed that his debt exceeded the world GDP while making a routine balance inquiry on his online Bank of America account. According to his statement, he had spent the profound sum in one pop at a nearby Mobil gas station -- his regular stop for Camel cigarettes.

"Very, very panicked," he jumped in his car and sped to the station.

Had they perhaps noticed any "outrageous" charges come across their books recently, he inquired of the cashier there. She checked the records. They had not. Video Watch the story of an astounded customer in Memphis, Tennessee »

Muszynski wondered aloud what he might possibly have asked to purchase for such an astronomical price. "Can I buy Europe on pump 4?"

He next called Bank of America, the issuer of his Visa prepaid debit card. The bank kept him on hold for two hours, during which time he contemplated the impossibly bleak financial future that might await him. He also felt a stab of fear that he had saddled all his unborn grandchildren -- and their grandchildren -- with a lifetime of debt. "Down the generational line, nobody would have any money."

Finally, a bank representative told him that the $23 quadrillion charge -- and the $15 overdraft fee -- would be stricken from his account.

Muszynski compared the giant debt reprieve to receiving "an amazing Monopoly card that says, 'Bank error in your favor.' "

In a statement, Visa said the rogue charges affected "fewer than 13,000 prepaid transactions" and resulted from a "temporary programming error at Visa Debit Processing Services ... [which] caused some transactions to be inaccurately posted to a small number of Visa prepaid accounts."

The company assured customers that the problem has been fixed and that all falsely issued fees have been voided. "Erroneous postings have been removed ... this incident had no financial impact on Visa prepaid cardholders."


http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/07/15/quadri ... index.html

So, the question is... what would you do with $23 quadrillion (which Google so politely tells me is 16 400.1809 trillion Euros)?

Personally, I'd go on a buying spree... a little bit of Monaco, parts of France, some of Latin America, places in South America. But I'm sure someone like Ifreann would know how to blow at least that much on booze. So, I'm open to suggestions.

Hmmm....Good point, if you did acquire that amount of money, the first move should be to buy as many precious metals as possible to keep its value...
