A physicist is giving a lecture on the sun, and concludes his talk
saying the sun will explode in 5 billion years.
A man jumps up from the back of the room and in a terrified voice
says "HOW LONG?????"
"About 5 billion years" the physicist answers.
" Oh Thank God" the man says greatly relieved, " I thought you said
5 MILLION".
Stay hungry,
