Mike,

It's simple. You should fess up to the fact that you're an idiot. Everyone
knows that a trilobyte is a trillion bytes, just like a megabyte is
million bytes. The average trilobyte is of course 127.5. It's only when
you're smarter than 127.5 that you can escape the horrors of absolutes.
Until then you must mingle with the minion.
