 * AHD (for reference only)., . Usage in conversation here: You get points by randomly calling out "I just did something cool! I get ##### points!" but are not allowed to use exponents or equations, so knowing terms like 'Tredecillion' really helps you out. [... K]illing a young girl by taking her virginity via Superball to the vagina gets you 100 times as many points as that, coming in at 10^42, 10 000 times as much as 10^38. This is also known as 'Tredecillion' points, the ultimate score. The word is also used in the timeline article, although there are appearently no interesting events scheduled for one tredecillion years from now. Beobach972 01:06, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
