A Billion 5-14-2003
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 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 dollars ago was only 8
hours and 20 minutes, at the rate Washington spends it.
