Toilet Paper Timeline

While I am on the subject of toilets and such, I really do feel the need to point you to a source of great interest that involves, yes, toilet paper. Now, we are all aware of the gaping span of days and years that is geological time. Most of us know that the earth was not created in six days…unless some early translation of “days” really calculated the “day” unit as a billion years. Then that’s just about right. But aside from all that…take a look at this site that plots geological time with a roll of toilet paper.

It’s a clever trick you can play with your friends! Or to show people at a fine restaurant…assuming it’s large enough. And more, it helps you understand what wee worthless creates we are in the larger scheme of things. As you can see, the time we’ve been around…why, you can’t even use that to wipe yourself.
