A Billion.........
The next time you hear a politician use the word "billion," casually, think about whether you want the politician spending your tax money. A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into perspective in one of its releases. a.. A billion seconds ago it was 1959. b.. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive. c.. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age. d.. A billion days ago no-one walked on two feet on earth. e.. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government spends it. --------------------  |

QUOTE(All over but the Crying @ 09/20/05 3:58pm)  a.. A billion seconds ago it was 1959. wrong, it was 1974 QUOTE(All over but the Crying @ 09/20/05 3:58pm) b.. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive. that one isn't quite accurate either, a billion minutes would put u in the year 102 AD. QUOTE(All over but the Crying @ 09/20/05 3:58pm) c.. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age. well i dunno when the stone age was, but that would put us in the year 112,150 BC so that would prolly be the stone age  QUOTE(All over but the Crying @ 09/20/05 3:58pm) d.. A billion days ago no-one walked on two feet on earth. that would put us 2,737,721 BC... dunno if things walked back then or not. good analogies tho. |
