What's a billion?

A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

B. A billion minutes ago, the year was 1 A.D.

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 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

What's a trillion? Don't ask.
