moral of the story: Don't use trunc.
Next to nothing times 10^42 can be pretty large. E.g. the plank length, smallest measurement of length with any meaning, times 10^42 is over 16000 km.
amazingly you find tourists everywhere. It would have been both realistic and fun to add fat people with hawaii shirt white socks and sandals.
