    Fun Fact

    My Cliff Clavin is showing...I read an article yesterday that stated the human mind can't really grasp the difference between million, billion, and trillion. It broke them down to seconds and a million seconds is 11.5 days.

    A billion seconds is 31.75 years. There's some TBHers that haven't been around for that long!

    A trillion seconds is 31,688 years! What was it like back then, Bernadell???

                    A billion is a thousand million. A trillion is a thousand billion. I guess that means a trillion is a million million. Kind of hard to wrap my head around sometimes.

                      30 years ago, I bid construction projects that were $100,000. I remember winning my first $1,000,000 project. And winning my first $100,000,000 project. The last two I won were each well over $10 billion. So I can grasp big numbers. But trillions? Nope. That's just stupid money that we could never hope to repay.

                        That really puts things in perspective. Hopefully burnadell will chime in soon like you said. Maybe he can break down the numbers for us
