Ha, love these stupid comparisons.

Coming soon: a nuclear power plant powerful enough to charge 70
quadzillionyon billyonzonmon flashlights!

But it will be located at a distance at least 350 millyonzonbon times as
far away as your dog's leash.  That's equivalent to
2,389,192,293,0370230909 times wider than Jupiter's rings!

American tech journalism, keep up the good laughs, guys.
