Can anyone imagine a Trillion? How would you describe it?

I find it hard to imagine a trillion, the number is just to high, does anyone have an example of a trillion that would make it easier to picture in our minds?

This will help me understand the amount of our National debt.

I read that if you were given a dollar a second you would need 31,546 years to have a trillion.

I have also heard, that if you were given a million dollars a day sense the birth of Christ you still won't have a trillion.

Randy, good answer, but I still have a difficult time imagining this amount, and that's just one trillion. Imagine the trillions of dollars of our debt, I wonder how large and high the building would have to be, to hold all the one-dollar bills that we owe???.

Thanks, I'm starting to comprehend, but need more examples, It's almost as if my finite mind is trying to understand infinity or something. Great examples, t.u. to you all.
