This is what happens when you write stuff in a hurry. The thing that threw me off was the sentence 'I didn't remember ordering the whole BOL.com catalog' but I should have double checked it before posting. Lesson learned. Thanks for all the comments!

Unfortunately I don't think you received a high grade at school for text comprehension: this company did not try to draw any money from the credit card (they informed the customer that he still has an outstanding balance), nor was the amount in the billiards or something. The exact amount was a little over 36 euro and 85 cents. The rounding of the 85 cents is what the BRIGHT article describes. Boris,

It is different from Dutch. Wij domme Nederlanders zijn volgens mij de enigen die komma's en punten omdraaien. We zouden het moeten doen zoals de rest van de wereld! @rory: I agree with you You should have read that Dutch post better :P Since you write in English, the amount in the post title for instance, should be ’36,850,000,000,000,001′.
