1 trillion dollars is peanuts.

In the past, Inflation has already made many people quadrillionaires.

Yes, you'd need only 3,620 of those to be a quadrillionaire in USD based on current exchange rate. ;-)

Or is that 362,000? I can't do math on weekends. Doh.

I remember seeing Reservoir dogs in 1993 and Pulp in 1994.
I feel old. Best 2 years in cinema ever watching those 2.
He never did anything as good as those two ever again.
