Without looking at that link, I'm picturing a large, dark, empty hole in the ground somewhere, about the size of Washington DC.

I was gonna say that a few years from now, a trillion dollars will look like a cart full of groceries.

Funny you should use that analogy...that's often how I find myself picturing DC itself after the time I spent stationed there.

As for the picture they actually used, all I can say is....and for the benefit of not offending anyone, I'll switch this to PG-rated terms...

Divine crap. O_o;;

I've seen warehouses that big, but they had other things stacked up in there.

I dunno how big the gold repository is at Fort Knox, but I'll bet it contains somewhat less than that cash value.
