That is quite a site. I'll have to search through it when I have time to concentrate on it; there's lots of information there.

I remember hearing a joke on the radio. Announcer says that the sun is going to burn out in 5 billion years. Listener panics and asks his companion did I hear that right, the sun is going to burn out soon?. No, the companion replies, "He said 5 Billion years.
whereupon the first guy says, "Oh, that's a relief, I thought he said 5 million.
