I have a suspicion that wasn't really Mark Twain, although I know it's
often credited to him. People didn't say "billions and billions of
years" much in those days (they do a lot more now, perhaps thanks to
Carl Sagan). But I'd be happy to be proved wrong - do you know the
original source?
I merely copied it from Brent -- and he has used it many times over the
