Let’s say, for arguments sake, that I was offered the chance by some all-powerful and omnipotent deity to live forever. Despite the extreme mental strain that would cause (the weirdness and disturbing nature of seeing everyone you know die one by one … forever - for one thing), I actually reckon I’d be up to the task and would (reluctantly) take it on.
Of course, I’m not about to be offered that any time soon, and I’m now half way through my 32′nd year of my limited mortal tenure on this planet. As if I didn’t feel old enough already, it’s a coincidence that a billion seconds is just a couple of months shy of 32 years, so I recently took a wild stab at a guess out of pure curiosity at when I myself would hit a billion seconds of age and it would appear I was about a week off (which isn’t bad in fairness) with my guess, as the billion second calculator at BrainBashers.com worked out that I’ll pass the monumental milestone on the afternoon of August 10th. I feel like I should mark the occasion with a party or something! I’m sure I’ll make it to the two billion mark (April 18th, 2040 - 63 years and 5 months old)… although I wouldn’t be so certain about making it to three billion (St. Stephen’s Day, 2071 - 95 years old). As for living forever, … well … we’ll see, eh? |
Killing some time, wandering around the net… Figured out that some time in the middle of August (the 16th or 17th, I believe) this year, I will hit the magical number of 1 billion seconds of age. It’s all downhill from there, you know… (yeah…) Anyway… find out stuff about how old you are at
