so its basically cake, but with red food colouring.

Ok, I can go with that. Except now I have Black Velvet the song in my mind. Dear god in heaven please don't let it go on...

my favorite colour is green, can we colour the cake green and have a green velvet cake?

Ok, so yes, I know, it was the colour of the chocolate originally, but hey, i'm naughty.

Isn't sanity really a one trick pony, anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy...ooh hoo hoo hoo... the skys the limit!

Nobody should have to suffer that. Think Iron Man, that always works for me. Of course then I have Iron Man stuck in my head but it's usually preferable.

Probably. Though you'll be courting the displeasure not just of dixie-ans but the Irish I suspect.

Behold the pillow war equivalent of nuclear weapons. The doomsday option[B/]. I will remind you that in the past some members have volunteered selflesly for the service of pillow duty. So if I were to (hypothetically) throw myself at and/or onto some one I would be in some sense whacking them with a pillow. I tell you this madness must stop. Think of the children, or the atleast the somewhat child like adults. I call on you now as reasonable people to lay down your pillows a turn your fortresses back into beds and sofas. I say it is time now to make love not war. Oooooh there's a thought.

Ha, ha, ha.

Lets see after millions there are billions, then trillions, quadrillions, quintillions, sextillions, septillions, octillions, nonillions, decillions, and then elevenillions.

So I can comfortably count up to 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 elevenillion is I admit just too hard a word to say in comfort.

But belay that poop wash. Man the mizzen mast and tack hard astern whilst I swing from the yardarm throwing pillows. Arrrr.

You can actually count WAY MUCH higher than me.

Is there really an elevenillion? And then would there be a twelvillion, too? Too many zeros for my liking!

You sure you wanna be swingin' from th' yardarm while you're tackin' hard astern? Just don't accidentally let go when you're flyin' over the side there. I wont be wastin' a long boat rescuin' ya. :P

Run out the pillow cannons! We'll rake 'em along th' starboard side while they're tacking!

Truth be told my spell check didn't recognize anything past quadrillion but up to decillion the words are all based on commonly accepted roots and they fit the numbering pattern. Elevenillion is a bit of a flight of whimsy but should I ever find the need of a name for a number that high I will use it in preference for the apparently proper form hendecillion.

Quote:

The next in series would probably be dodecillion followed by triskaidecillion but people are superstitiously against numbers that high.

Not sure per se. But really isn't being impetuous a part of the allure of the pirate life we are living?

Aye, aye, Captain! Canons manned and ready to fire on your command.
