So you can see why the term "brazillion years" would stand out. My interpretation is that Steven Woody made a typo and actually means "a bazillion years" which is, as Bryann points out, a colloquialism. nick ************************************************************ Opinions contained in this e-mail do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Queensland Department of Main Roads, Queensland Transport or Maritime Safety Queensland, or endorsed organisations utilising the same infrastructure.
