HOW OLD AM I?

On November 29, 2000, at 4:07:40 p.m. (give or take 60 seconds) Eastern Time, I was exactly one billion seconds old.

1,000 seconds old:  16 minutes and 40 seconds after birth

1,000,000 seconds old:  a little more than 11 and a half days after birth

1,000,000,000 seconds old:  for you to figure out

1,000,000,000,000 seconds old:  more than three times a number from a verse of John Newton’s most famous song
