We all are now very familiar with (and sick of) the infamous $87 billion that President Bush asked Congress to grant him for the war on terror, the $87 billion that Kerry apparently has voted for, against, over, under, and adjacent to. But DID YOU KNOW:

A stack of single dollar bills totalling $87 million would be over 5,492 miles long. This is the same distance as a round trip between Washington DC, where I currently live, and Los Angeles, California, where my hetero life partner hangs his hat.

Yep. Too much time on my hands. Tooooooo much time.
