What is "a billion"

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 the earth on two feet.
A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

I thought this thread was going to be about "a thousand million" (American) versus "a million million" (most Europeans) which is a pretty boring topic

What's a killion?

The killion, as every mathematician knows, is a number so big it can kill you. Newton discovered it, and Einstein insisted that all computers be equipped with a governor which would shut off the machine if the number killion is approached.

More of that on the way...In a news conference today Obama said we need to apply an emergency bail out to the middle class to help people save their 401K's and mortgages.

Heck...I'm almost thinking I should change my vote to Obama so I can get my hands on some of this cash.

Chuck Norris counted to a killion. Once. Then gave it a round house kick to the face.
