What's a Billion?

Here's something thought provoking -

The next time you hear a politician 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.

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 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's take a look at NewOrleans -
It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division


Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu, is presently asking the Congress for
$250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans.

Interesting number, what does it mean?

Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, child), you each get $516,528.00 .....EACH!

Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans, your home gets $1,329,787.00

Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets $2,066,012.00.

Washington, D.C. ........................... Are all your calculators broken????

I just found 67 cents in a couch at work...I was happy to get it

Hi. Im tyler. I like your art. alot.

That looks really heavy.

Thank you Tyler. I enjoy your art as well. Not just being polite.

That's the roundest, bowling-balliest, bowling ball I've ever seen.

I congratulate you on a job well done!

Thank you. I found that concentrating on the surrounding shapes first was the best way to go on the bowling ball.

How can it be perfectly round, when it has three holes in it?

I have that chair, in blue..... but it's about the ball, the ball. Since it's invisible only you can tell us, is it black or blue? X)

Nice.
