Oddly enough, I remember once taking an operating systems course given
by Rob Pike, where he defined and used "zillion" as an actual number. I
think it was something like 1000000 base 16, i.e., 16777216!

I assume that you're addressing this admonishment to the people who
compiled the infamous list in Forbes magazine, but I can't help feeling
that those people are not much different from us. Either we all need to
get a life, or those people tried to have some fun with what knowledge
they have about comics, just like we do in this list!
