There are about 6 x 10^23 molecules in a mole. That is almost a trillion trillion
***
The typical galaxy contains fewer than a 100 trillion stars
***
Our bodies contain on the order of 100 trillion cells.
***
It has been estimated that there are well over 1,000 trillions grains of sand on the earth

***
You owe $14 Trillion: The national debt.
Actually you owe $100 trillion: Unfunded liabilities

I was thinking the other day: What would it take to get a trillion legitimate hits on a web page.
Well a legitimate hit has to be from a unique IP address operated by a human being. Not some zombie computer creation and not slave labor clicking for their very lives in an impoverished Asian nation. Given all that, I think it would take everyone enrolled on Facebook, clicking on a page every day for 6 years.

To paraphrase Carl Sagan: Trillions and Trillions
The scientists who are, some say, trying to destroy the earth in a black hole with the Large Hadron Collider, over in Europe, are not just making the hottest thing in our little corner of the universe now: 4 Trillion Degrees. Later they will turn the power up to 14 Trillion Electron Volts and make that bad boy even hotter! Just in time for the end of the universe in 2012…
Two Trillion Dollars is what some wags think it will cost us if we get Death From Above!!! Maybe the sun is so mad at us for cornering the market on heat that it could just spit nails. But suns don’t spit nails. They spit highly energetic plasmas composed of charged particles. The problem is when the sun “farts” in our general direction. You see all that charged goodness is hard on our electronics. All of our sensitive electronics could head for that great digital round-up in the sky. Kind of like a cosmic Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) weapon.
The new net worth of US households is over $50 trillion. But never fear, now that they know what to aim at, Larry, Moe and Curly, aka Geithner, Obama, and Bernanke will conspire to borrow, print and spend $500 trillion before they are done. To these three stooges capitalism is one big joke.
