FUN FACTS...

[gottaluvlasers]

Completely off topic (hence the placement of the post)

but i have a thing for mind boggling, fun facts. add your own if youd like...

FACT:

We all hear, "1 billion dollars this, 10 billion dollars that. 100 billion dollars was given to this company. 100 billion dollars was lost" so on and so forth...

can we actually GRASP the sense of "100 billion?" a few "100 billion" perspectives to wrap our head around...

1 billion seconds ago, anyone 31 and older wasnt born yet.
10 billion seconds ago there was no united states of america
100 billion seconds ago, jesus (or whoever you would like to think of from that time period.) was walking around.

pretty crazy huh?

How can I get one (or more) of these?

Somehow I'm not sure my local bank would carry them... and what's that worth? A dime?

I'm actually bidding on ten 100 trillion bills on ebay right now. Yep, I'm about to become an ebay quadrillionaire! I want a full set of 3rd gen zimbabwe dollars, but those seem quite expensive. The values of the bills range from 1 cent to 100 trillion! Look at ebay item 260392282698 for example (though it does not contain the trillion dollar values).
