would you pay this bail?

[Luis G]

MX$4,726,723,080.77

That's the amount of money that Carlos Cabal Peniche has to pay to the mexican goverment, in no more than 3 days.

 

[Shadowfax]

If I had four times that amount of money...yes.

But I'm a student...so, that'll be a NO

 

[Jeslek]

$4.7 million, thats is quite a bit.

 

[unclehobart]

thats 4.7 BILLION. I dont know the exchange rate... but it sure isnt 100-1

 

[fury]

Gee, you think he's gonna be able to pay it without calling for tabs on all the crack he'll need to sell for that much money?

 

[Luis G]

yeah, unc got it right.

that's US$472,672,308.077

 

[Jeslek]

my leet math skillz

 

[Luis G]

it is the biggest bail ever on Mexico's history.

he might be able to pay it thou, he's a banker, prosecuted for fraud.

 

[ris]

if he pays his bail with a cheque that bounces...

 

[Jeslek]

I don't think you can write out checks for that kind of cash Imagine writing it out...

MX$4,726,723,080.77

4 billion, seven hundred twenty-sex million, seven hundred twenty-three thousand, eighty dollars and seventy-seven cents.

 

[ris]

only

 

[Jeslek]

I don't write only, and I don't know anyone that does... If it is something like hundred dollars, I write "hundred dollars---------".

 

[ris]

i write only

 

[Jeslek]

I just realized I typed "twenty-sex million" instead of "twenty-six million" Weird.

 

[ris]

something on your mind, batty boy?

 

[Luis G]

I don't think you can write out checks for that kind of cash Imagine writing it out...

MX$4,726,723,080.77

4 billion, seven hundred twenty-sex million, seven hundred twenty-three thousand, eighty dollars and seventy-seven cents.

uhm, you got it right but "wrong", as far as i know english is the only language where "a thousang millions" is a "billion", a billion is defined as "a million millions".

that ammount would be.

four thousand seven hundred and twenty six millions, seven hundred twenty three thosand eighty PESOS and seventy seven cents

 

[Jeslek]

million = 1,000,000
billion = 1,000,000,000
trillion = 1,000,000,000,000
quadrillion = 1,000,000,000,000,000
etc.

Each increment is 10^3 times greater than the previous one. Works for me.

 

[Luis G]

yeah, i know how it works in english.

 

[fury]

I want a sextillion dollars

 

[Luis G]

that must be a lot of money, similar to the penis' bandwidth
