A million million used to be the standard British definition of a billion and a thousand million the American - but because the American one got adopted so widely the British definition fell out of use.
I'm sure that's what I said
There seemed to be some question - I was backing you up
Thanks

If all Bill Gates money was in £5 notes, and he hid it under the bed, and then fell out, it would take him 3 days to hit the floor.

Yeah but surely he would be wearing he's Microsoft Jetpack version 1.1 and wouldn't actually hit the floor.

However they probably released it early and to get it working properly he would need a service pack which would not be out for 6 months so he would indeed splat on the floor..

WHAT IS A BILLION?
I heard a government officiial saying they whrer ‘investing 3 billion on infrastructure and regeneration’. So what is a Billion?
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into 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 two feet on earth.
e.. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes at the rate the U.S government spends it. The UK’s up there somewhere too so don’t laugh.
The next time you hear a politician or quango-head use the word “billion” think about whether you want him to go on spending your money.
If you wonder why half of everything you earn goes to national and local government this might help you understand why.
And thats why i play poker
