Just how much is a billion?
 
If you stacked up 1 billion pennies the stack would be about 944 miles tall and would weigh 2,790 tons.

If you started counting the seconds right now you'd get to a billion 31.7 years from now.

If you took a billion steps and averaged 2 feet per step you will have traveled a distance equal to circling the planet over 15 times.

Next?

If you spent a billion dollars you would get a billion dollars worth of stuff.

If you took a billion one-dollar bills and laid them across the Earth, a lot of them would probably get stolen.

If you had a billion dollars, you'd be rich.

If you stacked a billion Marillion albums on tip of each other you'd have a billion reasons to stab your ears out.

I'd say mega-rich! If you had a billion and started spending $50,000 a day, every day, you wouldn't run out of money for almost 55 years.

I'm listening to Season's End at the moment....

If you wrote a song that is a billion years long, then you'd need a billion of them to be as long as a Bull Of Heaven song

If you put nine zeros after a one you get a billion.

If you had a billion and started spending $50,000 a day, every day, then you're probably an *******.

If someone wants to give me a billion Euro, thanks! But it still isn't enough to make me listen to Captain Beefheart again! ZING! That's for the Marillion quip, Frownie! :ar_15s:

Frownland 10-20-2014 05:18 PM

You're only solidifying my case.

Ninetales 10-20-2014 06:10 PM

I you had a billion Merzbow records, youd still only have half his discography.

The Batlord 10-20-2014 06:20 PM

If you had a billion Merzbow records, you might as well just have the one Merzbow record,

GuD 10-20-2014 06:37 PM

One billion is how much dollarz$ you should all give me

Cash or Credit.
Paypall works too

Not being a fan of Captain Beefheart while being a fan of Marillion speaks volumes about how they're suicide fodder.

Color me guilty too.

A standard sheet of office paper is approx. .004" thick. A stack of a billion sheets would be over 63 miles tall.

If I had a billion pimples, I'd be kinda sad because pimples suck.

Hmm. If anything was going to drive me to suicide it would be having to listen to Trouty on endless repeat. Please, just shoot me in the head: it's less painful...

Oh well, at least someone will quit funding Marillion. Plus tmr isn't the captains only album.



Listen to this song a thousand times and her eyes become a blue billion miles.
