With fiscal stimuli and bailout packages running into many hundred billions of dollars, the following perspective helps (courtesy Business Standard):
1) One billion seconds ago, it was 1959!
2) One billion minutes ago, Jesus Christ was alive!
3) One billion hours ago, humankind did not exist!
If you become a billionaire, and spend Rs. 50 every second of your life, and not earn anything on it at all, you will not run out of money for 50 years.
Amazing!

homosapiens came into existence 400,000 to 250,000 years ago.. that 2 to 3 bn hours ago... :)
hmmm... the way i figured it, a billion hours would be roughly 120,000 years ago. this was when the first neanderthal woman walked the planet (could be wrong - looked it up on wiki :-)
