I have a packet of those and carry a few of them in my wallet and golf bag, just incase I run into someone who wants to make a bet. It's is always entertaining to say I will bet you $100,000,000,000,000 on this game and then back it up by pulling the bill out of your wallet. Get's the laugh every time!

Where would one get one? My son would probably like that, and I'd put some in the card for family that likes to give cash instead of gifts.

I bought my billion dollar note a few years back off of ebay for a few bucks. Funny it's up to 100 trillion now.

They also make great novelty gifts.

The reveal of the title at the end of the trailer is worth it going in blind. So stupid.

If you watch the embedded video here it should work, whereas if you click the Tweet and open it on Twitter it will reveal the video's title.

^Hah, that's a great premise actually! Pretty awful title, but it's effective.

A lot of great sci-fi short stories have non-commercial titles and then get renamed for marketing purposes when adapted to a movie (see: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep -> BladeRunner, We Can Remember It For You Wholesale -> Total Recall etc.). I give them props here for sticking with the original title... even if I did laugh when the title was revealed.

I had no idea that was the original title of Total Recall. Reminds me of this: https://www.baen.com/Chapters/978098...432864___2.htm
