Sup.

Very eye-catching indeed.

The only way someone would be able to get hit with a bill of that size in that time would be to be paying up something like $25,231,481.48 per second for 100 days (roughly how long this year has been to date). No company would be able to charge that amount. This is so clearly fake (or a mistake) it's insane.

I'd send them a check for $218 trillion from a bunk bank account. That's how you get back at The Man. *sticks it to The Man, and prompts a deluge of Aaron Freed jokes*

Crazyness!

Exactly, by my rough calculations (No calculator, and lazy enough to just round off a little), that's about 1.6666.... billion dollars per minute. No single telephone line could ever be responsible for that kind of phone call. The phone company owes this poor man a month of free long distance, plus court costs and so on, just for the hassle.

haha. Exactly.

Wow, I guess if my parents recieved smth like that, I'd be dead right now... but is clrearly a mistake... he had to spend all the days on the phone and I guess that it's not a habbit that people have :p
Anyway it's good to see that my phone bill isn't catually THAT big!

lol, glad im not him.

I would blame the bill on a numerical overflow in the phone coprporation's billing software. But unfortunately, 218 trillion doesn't match with 32 bit and 64 bit numerical overflows.

That has got to be an error of epic proportions. That is going to be legally shot down in no time flat.

I'm sure it's a mistake.

For a dead guy, his father sure talks a lot.

maybe the calls in heaven are expensive

:eek: This is insanity, you know? USD 218 Trillion?! Where could that guy get that kind of money?? Man, I think that's crazy, I mean, that's kind of impossible to pay! Even the richest person doesn't have the much money... I have a vibe the phone company made a mistake, I mean, his dad must be talking a lot! >.> Gee, if my parents find out that I have that kind of debt, they would kill me!!! >.<
