So, I wondered what would happen if I tried to make a table which contained a billion tables of a billion tables... You know, just to see what would happen.

For the record, after about 60 seconds of crunching, Lua stopped and said it was out of memory.

10⁹ * 10⁹ = 10^18
So if every table would take up 1 byte, it would take up one Exabyte...

Is that a

Aah, I'm not the only geek in here. Good to know. I'm glad someone else got it.

I was confused at the "why?" of posting the reference, not the reference itself. Also, if you're on the Love forums you've already got a 99% chance of being a geek.
We already went this far so I might as well...
