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

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 13 hours and 12 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.
