Nope, Saturday, May 25, 1974
is billion seconds ago from today.
This must have been written around 1990 -91 since
1000000000 / 60 sec / 60 min
/ 24 hours / 365 days = 31.70979198376458650431 years
1959 + 32 = 1991
2006 – 32 = 1974
So a billion seconds ago from Today
Tuesday, January 31, 2006 is was Saturday, May 25, 1974
11,575 days Or 31 years, 8 months, 7
days including the end date
11,575 days is 1,000,080,000
seconds or 16,668,000 minutes or 277,800 hours or 1,653 weeks (rounded down)

Subject: Billion
The next time you hear someone in government rather casually use a
number
that includes the word "billion", think about it. A billion is a
difficult
number to comprehend. One advertising agency did a good job of putting
that figure into perspective in one of its releases:
* A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
A billion days ago no creature walked the earth on two feet.
And a billion dollars lasts 8 hours and 20 minutes at the rate our
Government spends it.
* I find this one mind boggling
