Technological mistakes can be costly

I was reading the headlines over at CNN and came across this story ($23 quadrillion charge) which I thought was pretty comical.

It appears that this poor guy (no pun intended) was just checking his balance, nothing out of the ordinary, until he noticed this ridiculous, astronomical charge. However, what I think is most comical is that, instead of assuming it was a mistake, the guy actually believed he somehow spent such an absurd amount of money in one go (at a petrol station no less). Then again, CNN may be trying to make this story out to be funnier that it truly is. Either way, the story is worth a chuckle or two.
