From: Marvin Minsky <MINSKY at MIT-OZ>
Some child was tellig me about something large and said
"it is a hundred billion thousand million billion billion"
miles long.  I said "it would be larger if you say
"a billion billion billion billion billion billion".
The child said "it sounds larger the first way".

More variety, I suppose.
