A Billion seconds

[Classicblast]

Baron of Brappps was the first to say that there's a time where a billion seconds is a little over 31 and a half years. He pointed out that very day where it happened to Phil since we knew Phil at age 31 and slightly over 50 cents change.

That was sort of forgotten until about 2 and a half years ago when Phil reopened that thought to catch me at the date of a billion seconds. Since Blastgirl is just a year younger than me we could just about zap her at a watchable time.

Now it's almost time to notice Mahnarch is about to cross that milestone of a billion seconds old. Where better to post that than right in Mahnarch's own sub-board.


I guess that began when Baron was at his work and someone was not waiting patiently so Baron had told the customer to wait a second and the customer said "I have already waited a billion seconds." That inspired our esteemed colleague to figure out how long a billion seconds is.

It happens that Baron's birthday is just a couple days after my brother Thunderbird born the same year. That allowed me to call Thunderbird and tell him when he had reached that billion second plateau.

I remember that. Its like 31 years 8 months and a little more. Barron had it figured out exactly he mentioned it just as I was at the cusp of a billion seconds.

That thought came to me ontime to hit Classic with that. Now it's Mahnarch's turn to be a billionare.

[Blastgirl]

I reached that point just over a year ago. ;D

[Mahnarch]

OH!!! And here it comes!!!

5...4...3....2...oh, look! A penny!


Crap! I missed it!

Man, I hate getting old but, hitting this milestone is quite the accomplishment.

I'd like to thank all those who made this possible:
My mum, first of all - for tricking my dad into coming over on that fateful day.
My dad for....being there.
...my aunt...for not coming downstairs for about an hour.


I was an accident but, my parents couldn't be prouder.
Of course, I could've been born a few months earlier so I could ride 'Trixie' - my mum's horse that died shortly before I was born.

She talks about her, alot.

I had to deal with a horse that wouldn't let anyone ride him and a pony that wouldn't do anything but walk in a circle (former circus/petting zoo pony).

We are all getting old but so far nobody has discovered conclusively that there is a fountain of youth.

[Phil]

I'm not sure how long it is to the last moment I think 31 years 8 months a week and perhaps a couple more days.

Baron had figured out when he had reached that milestone and mentioned at the time that's just about how old I was when it came up in conversation.

[Kimm]

Its 31.71 years That makes it about what Phil said 31 years 8 months and some change. I remember on the old boards Phil got recognized for reaching that age. The Brown Baron had figured it out and posted it at the time Phil had reached that age.

Since then it got mentioned for everybody else who has reached that age.

[Mahnarch]

Where is the Baron, anyway?

Has anyone heard from any of the other refugees of Farts.com?
