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) Posted by DaveH at December 16, 2007 11:04 PM
