That "quilliard" of the H 2 G 2 TV example isn't entirely made-up. The "quintilliard" would be a recognised number in the European "-illion" naming scheme, where "million" refers to 10^6 and "billion" to 10^12. The American "billion" (10^9), commonly called "thousand million" also has the more formal name of "milliard".

Following that scheme, 10^12 is a "billion", 10^15 is a "billiard", and the pattern continues trillion, trilliard, quadrillion, quadrilliard, quintillion, quintilliard (10^33).

You'd have to use a pretty big font or a pretty small page for thirty-three zeros to be enough to fill it.
