It's one of those days when I'm drifting through the web with no place to go. Inevitably I end up on reddit.
Someone helpfully (?) indicated the difference between 1 million and 1 billion since the numbers can be hard to visualise.
1 million seconds is approximately 11.5 days
1 billion seconds is approximately 31.5 years

In my head, 1 billion was a bit more than 1 million...yes, I know the numbers but a billionaire seemed just a bit richer than a millionaire. There are 2200 billionaires on the planet. Mind blown.
