Backward Mutters

"The spell must be unwound, bit by bit with backward mutters of dissevering power." C.S. Lewis

Consider this from the Sweet Dropper

The term $1 trillion has been floating around lately. Consider this:

  • If you spent a $1 million per day, every day from the birth of Christ, in 2009 you’d only be about 3/4 of the way to a trillion.
  • If you got $1 every second, it would take almost 32,000 years to get to a trillion.
  • If you stacked a trillion dollar bills on top of each other, it would go 68,000 miles into space?1/3 of the way to the moon.
  • If you took 100-dollar bills and put them side to side, it would circle the equator 38.9 times
