I put this in the Just for Fun section but sadly I believe it to be true..........

One Billion

This is too true to be funny.


The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want the 'politicians' 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 some 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 the earth on two feet.
E.
A billion Dollars ago was only 13 hours and 12 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it!

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

Thankyou and NO I DO NOT THINK THIS IS FUNNY -

Actually I found it rather sad and mostly cause it is true. Almost the predictor of our own demise via going bankrupt at which point in time we'll be able to help nobody and we'll return to earlier times - which might not be a bad thing. I'd be happy to turn the clock back a few decades as it seemed a quieter simpler time.
