http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20141016-your-life-on-earth

Since I have graced this planet:

There have been 89 solar eclipses
My heart has beaten two billion times
A house fly my age would have a family of 22,735 generations

 

There have been 131 solar eclipses
My heart has beaten two billion times
A house fly my age would have a family of 33,515 generations
I've traveled through the Milky Way 475,642,083,000 km

 

Very Cool

My Gran is 101 soon to be 102 and I love tlaking to her about what has changed in her living memory let alone her life time.

She is into her cars and planes so talking with her is always fun.

Worked in a factory in Coventry which during the war was skinning airplane wings.

 

Sea level gone up 13 meters

 

Sounds very interesting. Link doesnt take me anywhere other than allowing me to share ? Am i doing something wrong?
