This is what 1 Billion Dollars look like

My good friend Russell gave me 1 Billion Dollars for my birthday. Now that’s what I call a good friend! This might look like monopoly money to you, but trust me, monopoly money is worth more than this stack of 10 000 000 Zim Dollar Notes. As I write this (21.04.2008) the stack of money you are looking at is basically worth nothing within the next couple of weeks. The Zimbabwe Dollar is sitting at an inflation rate of 164,900.3%, and these ‘bearer cheques’ expire 30th June 2008 anyways…rediculous! Dr. Robert Evil: Shit. Oh hell, let’s just do what we always do. Hijack some nuclear weapons and hold the world hostage. Yeah? Good! Gentlemen, it has come to my attention that a breakaway Russian Republic called Kreplachistan will be transferring a nuclear warhead to the United Nations in a few days. Here’s the plan. We get the warhead and we hold the world ransom for… ONE MILLION DOLLARS! Number Two: Don’t you think we should ask for *more* than a million dollars? A million dollars isn’t exactly a lot of money these days. Virtucon alone makes over 9 billion dollars a year! Dr. Robert Evil: Really? That’s a lot of money. [pause] Dr. Robert Evil: Okay then, we hold the world ransom for… Dr. Robert Evil: One… Hundred… BILLION DOLLARS!
