Here's a Thought

There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers.
-Richard Feynman, physicist, Nobel laureate (1918-1988)

Comments:
That's a depressing thought. Did you hear the National Debt Clock in Times Square ran out of digits? It's because our debt surpassed $10 trillion. They had to squeeze a "1" in with the "$" sign until they can get a new clock.

It's sort of an eerie clock anyway...all those numbers, all the time, moving up-up-up ...
