Are there really 5 trillion members to the site?

I Don't understand this, the homepage (or the index page) of this site tells you that there are some 5 trillion members of the site. See the figures on the right top of the homepage? Its there where I see it. I don't know if others have experience the samething or not, but its surely hilarious to me considering that there are just 6 billion people in the world, most of which don't use the net.

I'm not sure what you're thinking, but 308,903 is clearly less than 5,000,000,000,000, which is also clearly less than the OTHER definition of trillion, i.e. 5,000,000,000,000,000,000.

Oh, that was just a problem with the layout of the table in Opera.

It appears as : -

Members56277308986
VideosCreators 19163

Theres some further wrapping problem, but only this is the concerned problem.

When I copied the text to clipboard and pasted it here, it appeared something like:

Ditto (7.5, to be specific, but it looked fine in 7.2 as well, after Phade fixed them up months ago).
