The sum involved in the $2 Undecillion lawsuit is so ridiculous that the guy from xkcd.com made a What If comic based on it.

http://what-if.xkcd.com/96/ - "What if Au Bon Pain lost this lawsuit and had to pay the plaintiff $2 undecillion?"

Turns out not only is that amount of money larger than currently exists, but even if you strip mined the planet to sell every valuable bit of it, it still wouldn't even be close to enough.
