Heh - A cautionary tale about One Billion
From
Roy J. Tellason:
A billion...
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend:
A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
A billion days ago no-one walked on two feet on earth.
A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government spends it.
The guy does have a point here...
(and the numbers are from September, 2007)
