>>This is too true to be very funny.<<

A. a billion seconds ago was 9/11/1976 (not 1959)

B. a billion minutes after Jesus' death was 1901 years after his death or about 1937 (not 2008).

C. A billion hours ago was 114,077 years ago, and some of us were related

D. A billion days ago was 2.737 million years ago, and some on this board may think the earth wasn't yet created.
