I came across this while trawling cyberspace:



The next time you hear a Politician use the word "Billion" in a casual manner, think about whether you want those 'Politicians' spending YOUR tax money.

A Billion is a difficult number to comprehend ... but an Advertising Agency recently did a very good job of putting that figure into some perspective:-

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 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our Government is spending it!
