Speaking of Hitlery, a friend of mine told me that when she was in Iraq, the military call sign for her helicopter was "Broomstick One". Can't confirm the truth, but it sounds reasonable.

* 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 dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate Washington spends it.
