Lizzie, it is obvious Google is going to have tens of billions of options expenses on the books in the second quarter of life as a public company

No, they aren't. Their option expense last year was a couple of hundred million. Further, if you had chosen to read the prospectus, they give you the option expense had they computed the number by the Black-Scholes method. Even using liberal assumptions that give a fairly aggressive value to the stock options increases stock option expense by another couple of hundred million. That's a far cry from the billions you're talking about.
