Years ago Brown Baron posted a thread that a customer at his work had been impatient and he asked the man to wait a second and the man replied 'I've been waiting a billion seconds.'
Baron said that he then figured out how long a billion seconds is. He told us just how long it equates to and I don't recall the exact details but it could be figured out but its 31 years 8 months, I don't recall the rest of the details. When he figured it out I was a few days away from that actual mark. So he congratulated me on being a billionaire.
That was some time in April of 2003.
Since then when its been time appropriate I have mentioned it for Classicblast, Blastgirl, Mahnarch, and Weaselh2m when they have reached the billion second mark. Within this next month my brother Alan will cross that billion second range and a couple months after that Kimm will also become a billionare. Within the next 3 months or so the Lewasite community will recognize 2 new billionaires.
