Bunch of 48K+ plus transactions with small amounts (~10) being split off. Is that normal? If I have a large sum in my wallet and I give somebody 10 coins does it go into the block as 50K from key X (mine) ---> 49,990 to key Y (mine) and 10 to key Z (somebody else?)

For reference:

Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

It's very weird. The transactions form a chain. My bet is that some automated system controlling 48,000BTC or so doesn't group its transactions. So when they had to make a lot of small payments, they embedded each one as its own transaction. This caused them to waste a lot of money (.1 BTC in this block alone) on transaction fees.

The more you believe in Bitcoin, and the more you show you do to other people, the faster the real value will soar!

Yep, I see the pattern now.
