James Lipton...gotta be like 55, right? WRONG SIR! WRONG! He's 86.
Adele is only one year older than Taylor Swift.
How about that guy Samuel L. Jackson. He can't be over 45 can he? Oh, he can, because he's 64.
Macaulay Culkin and Ryan Gosling are the same age.
And Demetri Martin? He's 40.
And hold onto your hats because...Will Smith is now older than Uncle Phil was at the start of The Fresh Prince!
So the next time you say something took a "trillion seconds" THINK AGAIN.
And the next time you say you'll be a "moment" know that actually is a medieval unit of time and is equal to 90 seconds.
And if you're gone in a "jiffy" that means roughly 1100 of a second.
If you want to really say you'll be back soon, just say you'll be back in a "planck" which 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 second.
Here's what that little kid from Jerry Maguire looks like now.
Okay, here we go...Between the time it was discovered and the time it was unclassified as a planet, Pluto did not even complete one revolution around the sun.
Try this one for size, alles klar?
Now breathe easy and keep reading...The Great Pyramid was built circa 2560 B.C.
...and Cleopatra live 69 B.C.-30 B.C
...which means Cleopatra lived closer to the moon landing than she did to the building of the Great Pyramid.
Speaking of the pyramids, they were as old to the Romans as the Romans are to us:
Should we keep going? The difference in time between the Tyrannosaurus Rex and Stegosaurus lived is greater than the difference in time between Tyrannosaurus Rex and now:
In 1903 the Wright Brothers flew for the first time...
...38 years later, in 1941, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor...
... and 28 years later, in 1969, man landed on the moon.
Oh yeah, and if the life of earth were compressed into 24 hours, human would appear appear just over a minute before midnight.
And if THAT didn't blow your mind, remember this: Here's what Lindsay Lohan looked like only 11 years ago.

Lipton, 55. Jackson, 45. So you probably think Will Ferrell is 23.
As a creationist I'd say that if the life of the Earth was compressed to 24 hours, that human beings appeared at approximately 12:00:24 am, but we're coming from such radically different starting premises that I don't suppose a productive discussion could come from that.
