After having sat here for 20 minutes and read this whole damn thread, i feel compelled to write and add a post to contribute to the stirling effort to reach 85 billion posts, and to say that before today I didn't know that US billions and UK billions were different, so I have not only been entertained, but also informed. Keep up the good work!
Now I really must go and do what I came here to do...
