We must be smarter than our governments
If I give you $1 billion dollars and you stand on a street corner handing out $1 per second, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, you would still not have handed out $1 billion after 31 years!
A VERY BIG NUMBER; This is too true to be funny.
The next time you hear a politician from the NDP, REPUBLICANS, or other parties use the word ‘billion’ in a casual manner, think about whether you want the ‘politicians’ spending YOUR tax money.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases.
The Bible contains: 3,566,480 letters, 810,697 words, 31, 175 verses, 1,189 chapters, and 66 books. The number of the letters of the Qur’an as we counted them: 320,015 letters.
There are estimated 19,000-20,000 human protein-coding genes. The estimate of the number of human genes has been repeatedly revised down from initial predictions of 100,000 or more as genome sequence quality and gene finding methods have improved and could continue to drop further
Genes are composed of DNA and it is predicted that there are over 3 billion base pairs in the human genome. Humans have approximately 10 trillion cells, so if you were to line the entire DNA found in every cell of a human body it would stretch from the earth to the sun 100 times!
Here’s how it breaks down: One light-year—the distance light travels in one year, used as the yardstick for interstellar distances—is about 5.9 trillion miles. If you hoofed it at a moderate pace of 20 minutes a mile, it would take you 225 million years to complete your journey (not including stops for meals or the restroom). Even if you hitched a ride on NASA’s Mach 9.68 X-43A hypersonic scramjet, the fastest aircraft in the world, it would take about 95,000 years to cover the distance.
You’ll need to bring a big bag, too; walking such a distance requires substantial supplies. The average adult burns about 80 calories per mile walked, so you’d need two trillion Power Bars to fuel your trip. You’d also produce a heap of worn-out shoes.
The typical pair of sneakers will last you 500 miles, so you’d burn through some 11.8 billion pairs of shoes. And all that effort wouldn’t get you very far, astronomically speaking: The closest star to the sun, Proximal Centauri, is 4.22 light-years away
A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
E. A billion Dollars ago was only 13 hours and 12 minutes, at the rate
F. A million minutes ago, the year was 2011
In numerology sign, the number 1 =Angel Numbers are a shorthand code between you and your angels. … 1, 11, 111, and 1111 in Angel Numbers’ Angel Numbers’ entire mean: “Keep your thoughts positive, because your thoughts are manifesting instantly into form.

Number Zero is the infinite perfection of our Divine Creator and represents a connection with God. Zero is symbolized by a perfect circle without beginning and end. The Omega symbol represents the divine perfection of our Creator God, and is symbolized by our modern number 0which is the beginning.
our government is spending it on
Stamp Duty, Tobacco Tax, Corporate Income Tax, Income Tax, Council Tax
Unemployment Tax, Fishing Licence Tax, Petrol/Diesel Tax, Inheritance Tax
(tax on top of tax) , Alcohol Tax, G.S.T., Property Tax, Service charge taxes
Social Security Tax, Vehicle Licence / Registration Tax, Vehicle Sales Tax, Workers Compensation Tax, Carbon Dioxide Tax
STILL, THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Not one of these taxes existed 60 years ago and our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt.
We had the largest middle class in the world.
Parents and teachers were allowed to discipline kids.
A criminal’s life was uncomfortable.
What Happened? ‘Political Correctness’, ‘Politicians or both?’ Next time vote for a smarter, gentler, a kind president who bring all people together instead of pointing fingers on others, forgetting that when he points one finger on other people he is, in fact, pointing 3 fingers back toward him.
Don’ just be a number on this earth, make your mark, believe in your self, don’t let anybody tell you that you don’t count.You have your number marked by the creator and you have a destiny.
