Mountains, oh mountains, of money....... Scrooge McDuck would be in absolute heaven diving into those piles, except for the fact, that he would quite possibly drown in money. Well, what would happen if you dove down into a pile of $1 bills the size of a football field and 55 feet deep. How effectively would your air be cut off? Would you suffocate? Suppose you're 30 feet down in that. How much would the money weigh? Could you climb out? I don't know that I'll get the chance to find out, or that I want to, but our pal Chris Barrus links to a visualization of what $87,000,000,000 looks like. As an aside, why is that photo of the puckered-lips chimp so popula? There's plenty of images of the Doofus-in-Chief, yet that one is most everywhere. Update: fubar has a link to this perspective on the $87,000,000,000 in 99 cent big macs. 1:39:39 AM    comment []
