[edit] Brazillion

Unverifiable. A possible hoax. --202.156.6.61 16:07, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect to zillion. Uncle G 16:37, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete and redirect to Brazil as it seems a bit more likely to be a typo for "Brazilian" than someone looking for info about zillions. flowersofnight 17:06, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Read the examples in zillion, in particular the "Presidential Briefing" example. Uncle G 18:11, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Brazil per Flowersofnight. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 17:49, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect, probably to zillion per Uncle G; of the first page of Google results, the first one is a typo for "Brazilian", but the other 9 are references to the joke. Haeleth 19:06, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
• It's probably from this joke:

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing.
He concludes by saying: “Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed.”
“OH NO!” the President exclaims. “That’s terrible!”
His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in his hands.
Finally, the President looks up and asks, “How many is a brazillion?”

• Delete as unverifiable unless evidence to the contrary is presented before expiration of AfD. Do not create a redirect, this is not a plausible misspelling of "Brazilian." This is just a dumb prank (it does not rise to the level of "hoax.") Dpbsmith (talk) 23:06, 18 October 2005 (UTC) P. S. I think the point of the above joke is that bazillion, unlike brazillion, is a real (if unlexicographic) word, meaning a humongous, astronomically large number, and that the President has misinterpreted "Brazilian" because of it's similarity to "bazillion."
