have you found a way to transform these insights into a source of wealth?

otherwise I fear, this knowledge may actually be without a use: devoid of function; without practical application for our species - try telling the parrots.

For they are well known for feasting on titbits of random information, and occasionally they repeat the more emotive phrases, in the hope of striking up a conversation.

under the other system --

a billion seconds ago would be 1696

a billion minutes ago would be 16,594 BC

a billion hours ago would be over 1 million BC

If tarheel is in the UK and MMario in the USA, you're probably both right.

A british billion is, I understand, a million millions. A US (and French!) billion is a thousand millions.

a billion seconds ago it was 1975, not 1959.

a billion minutes ago it was 1136 AD-- and to the best of my knowledge NO one claims Christ lived during that time.

a billion hours ago there were already discernable political systems in china; carving was common, rope making, knot tying etc.

No, we got the cheap one made from a 2x4. We spent most of our money on the rent for her iron lung

i, for one, do not understand what the big deal is about a thread that reads...will this thread reach 2 billion post?
think about a billion...
one billion seconds ago, it was 1959!
one billion minutes ago,Jesus was still here on Earth!
one billion hours ago, our ancestors were walking on all fours here on earth!
so...what is the big deal here...
at least 2 or 3 threads here are asking those questions...
if that's all the information and discussions going on here,then count me out!
i have more important things to do and talk about!
i have a life !
Tar...
