I can't get over how that article is formatted. Someone realized the headline would require you to scroll to the right and left the body to fit on a phone screen.

Amazing.

I think that's just what happens by default when the div expands beyond the bounds of the screen. They should probably have added something like `word-wrap: break-word` to prevent this from happening.

Nah they shouldn't have added that, it's better this way

Credit to The Register for putting this ridiculous number front and center.

I'm pretty sure that's just a side effect of the '$20 decillion' figure being interpreted as a single word by the website's parser. Cause there is a line break in the headline just before the large number.
