So Some rich bastard company bought out another one big freakin’ deal.  However I was sitting here thinking If I asked for the 6.5 billion dollars in $1 dollar bills how much space would that take up. The initial idea was to turn the office space in front of me into a swimming tank full of money. However after looking at 87billion.com. I quickly realized that it would simply be impossible.

Below is am image that represents the stack of  87 billion 1 dollar bills.  Now look closely at it you can see the scale to that of a human and a car.

The 87billion.com sums it up very well in two ways:

“A Boeing 737-200 jet is 100 feet long. You could fit 2 of those jets nose to nose along the length of this pile, and have room to spare.”

“If we spread the $87 billion over an American football field, we would not be able to see much of the game. The players would be buried in 55 feet of money.”

In conclusion we would need to rent out a NASA sized hanger to make it happen.

Mythbusters did it why cant I right?

Then again that might not even be big enough.

Stupid Idea myth BUSTED

:-(

back to reality and to work.
