Perspective on a billion

[WalkinTarget]

Similar to a thread I made last week, we now get to see how much a BILLION is !

"A billion"

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into perspective in one of its releases.

A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.

A billion days ago no one walked on two feet on earth.

A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate the government spends it...

Ouch

And I'm guessing that in our lifetimes all the members of Cain's Lair pooling their earnings together would not make a billion.

Bad debt, Phan Phan? Who's on your back, I'll take him out!!

Not if I have anything to say about it.

Using 2007 data from Wikipedia the per capita income for a US worker is 31,631.

Lets say the average person works for 40 years.

40*31,631= $1,265,240 lifetime earnings

Members: 3,863 (from front page of Cains Lair)

1,265,240*3,863= $4,887,622,120

Want to retire early?
30 years would be $3,665,716,590

Get that promotion that doubles you income?
$9,775,244,240

Most people just wasted about 30 billion nanoseconds reading this crap.
