From: MMario 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. |

27 Sep 06 - 01:51 PM (#1844239) Subject: RE: BS: i have a life... From: Midchuck 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. Peter. |

27 Sep 06 - 02:02 PM (#1844253) Subject: RE: BS: i have a life... From: Big Al Whittle 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. |

27 Sep 06 - 03:42 PM (#1844364) Subject: RE: BS: i have a life... From: Rapparee We couldn't afford a dog either. So we painted our little brother black, told everyone he was a Labrador Retriever, and took him for walks and taught him to fetch. Naturally he had to live out in the doghouse, and he was in the Air Force before he knew what a fire hydrant was REALLY for. |

27 Sep 06 - 03:54 PM (#1844376) Subject: RE: BS: i have a life... From: Rapparee It wasn't a very good doghouse. In fact, it was a cardboard box that was all torn and ripped. A neighbor gave it to us so my little brother wouldn't have to sleep out in the snow. Of course, we took it away during the summer and our family lived in it. |

28 Sep 06 - 11:40 AM (#1845082) Subject: RE: BS: i have a life... From: Paul Burke Without correcting for exactly when leap years fell, or for the change between Julian and Grgorian calendars, I make the dates January 1975 (1^9 seconds), May 105AD (1^9 minutes), February 112073BC (1^9 hours), about 2.7 million years ago (1^9 days). One billion inches woould take you round the world at 50 degrees latitude. A billion is a little under the estimated volume of the world's oceans in cubic kilometres. And if that seems a lot, don't forget that if the world were the size of a soccer ball, all the depth of the ocean would be a few thousands of an inch, it would just seem to have damp patches on the ever-so-smooth surface. Even Everest would be only a thousandth of an inch high. I must get a life too. Or a file. |
