Anytime someone starts nattering on about their download speed, I just say that I can download 10 yottabytes in one zeptosecond. OK, actually, I just fantasize about saying this.

Who gets to make up these prefixes? yotta-, zetta-, zepto-. They all sound like Marx brothers and sisters. How big is a harpobyte?
September 10, 2008
reesetee commented on the word yottabyte
Haha! I've wondered that too!
Do you think a grouchobyte is bigger than a harpobyte?

Well, if you want it to be understandable, you'd need a zeppobyte, but then if you wanted it to get really crazy, you should use a chicobyte.

Chicobytes come with pointy hats, too.

“And what is a yottabyte? I’m glad you asked.
There are a thousand gigabytes in a terabyte, a thousand terabytes in a petabyte, a thousand petabytes in an exabyte, a thousand exabytes in a zettabyte, and a thousand zettabytes in a yottabyte. In other words, a yottabyte is 1,000,000,000,000,000GB. Are you paranoid yet?�?
