There is a phrase in English when someone a big salary that they "telephone numbers". A man in New York is the city (and others) for so much that it is almost impossible to of a comparison. Anton Purisima, 62, is suing for two undecillion. Over 99.99 per cent of English speakers would not know or have of the word for this amount. That astronomical figure two undecillion dollars – a two by 36 zeros. The only people who are likely to this word are probably astrophysicists and astronomers. Two undecillion dollars , in fact, more than all the money in the whole world. Even more than all the wealth throughout humankind's entire history.

So what New York City so wrong to be for such a mind-bogglingly gargantuan sum? Quite a lot, it . The New York Post that Mr Purisima is the city (as well as two local hospitals, LaGuardia Airport, the transportation system, a bakery and even a dog owner) for "civil-rights violations, personal injury, discrimination in national origin, retaliation, harassment, fraud, attempted murder, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and conspiracy to defraud". Why? Well, it's because last month a "rabies-infected" dog his finger on a city bus; then, a "Chinese couple" photos of him without asking; and to insult to injury, he is routinely for coffee at LaGuardia Airport.
