deckardcanine450: The amount, in hundreds of thousands of dollars, Pepco will save by replacing mercury vapor lights with sodium fixtures in Montgomery and Prince George's counties.
What a confusing choice of words. Do they mean $450,000, in which case they should have deleted "hundreds of"? Or do they mean $45,000,000, in which case it would have been simpler to say, "45: The amount, in millions..."?
On another subject, I just checked IMDb trivia about some of the Batman movies. I was wrong about the Lamborghini referenced in the Dark Knight trailer being a Murciélago, tho Bruce Wayne did drive one in Batman Begins. This one is a Reventón, Spanish for "explosion." Ironically, it's not one of the vehicles that explodes in the movie.
I expect to type a blue (black?) streak about Batman later, mostly behind an LJ cut, but more for length than for spoilers.
