A trillion seconds ago Neanderthals walked the Earth

or 31,546 years if you listen to Nasa;

(An interesting
bit of trivia: If one were to count the national Debt at the rate of one
dollar per second, he or she would have to use a mechanical counter to
click off the digits. Why? Because, if he or she counted in the usual
way, saying "one, two, three, …" etc., there would be numbers whose
names are so large, that it would take more than a second of clock time
to pronounce them. For example: "Nine hundred and ninety nine billion,
nine hundred and ninety nine million, nine hundred and ninety nine thousand,
nine hundred and ninety nine," takes about 8 seconds to pronounce.)

Also, light travels about 186,000 miles per second, so there are around 6 trillion miles in a light year, so you could say that the US govt is printing dollars faster than the speed of light, errrrrr, or something............

Well, knock me down with a feather!

im going for a lay down now.........
