Tiger Paw, I hate to be pedantic but

A billion seconds ago it was 1971, not 1959.
A billion minutes ago, Jesus would have been 100 years old, even allowing for the change from the Julian to Gregorian calendar
A billion hours ago our ancestors were indeed living in the Stone Age. But you don't get many marks for this, as there were Stone Ages from the time of Australopithecus (ten billion hours ago) to the late Paleolithic, a mere hundred million hours ago - and beyond. Two orders of magnitude of latitude on this one.

Scratch that. I enjoy being pedantic.
