One Billion Dollars

[Pfloydgad]

$1,000,000,000
  an interesting perspective of the "Word Billion."

A Billion Seconds ago it was 1959
A Billion Minutes ago, Jesus was alive.
A Billion Hours ago our Ancestors were in the Stone Age
A Billion Days ago, nothing on Earth walked on 2 feet
A Billion Dollars ago, it was 8 hrs and 20 minutes, and the rate the US Gov. is spending

Kind of an interesting perspective when you the word Billion is said so cassually by our politicians.
Ride safe all,

To me the number one billion is a very small number especially if you compare to commonly tangible items like gallons of seawater on the Earth or grains of sand. Even one billion minutes is not very long if it is weighed against the entire life of the Earth; 21 centuries is nothing. Hell, Zuckerberg is about to go from having a net worth of ~$17B to ~$28B by himself. Just another perspective.
