There’s nothing funny about the dogfighting and other crimes with which Michael Vick has been charged.
But this is different.
Embattled NFL quarterback Michael Vick, facing federal charges related to his alleged participation in dogfighting, has been hit with a “$63,000,000,000 billion dollar” lawsuit filed by a South Carolina inmate who alleges the Atlanta Falcons star stole his pit bulls and sold them on eBay to buy “missiles from Iran,” FOX News has learned.
Emphasis added. By my calculation, “$63,000,000,000 billion dollars” works out to “63,000,000,000,000,000,000 (dollars^2),” or “63 quintillion square dollars.”
UPDATE: As I should have expected, Fox News got it wrong. The three-page, handwritten complaint (pdf) includes a demand for “63,000,000,000 Billion dollars backed by gold and silver,” but there is no dollar sign; the wronged inmate seeks a mere $63 quintillion.
