"The impacting body, which could have been an asteroid or a comet, was between 4015 and 6285 double decker buses wide and hit the Earth at more than 600 times the official speed limit on English roads, with a minimum 5 year prison sentence and automatic disqualification. The impact would have caused a crater around 54000 double decker buses across and the resulting tsunamis would have been tens of thousands of linguine high."

that is billion years as in BEEELION years in El Reg terms or maybe even BEEEEEEEEEEEELION years, as that is quite a few billion years and certainly longer than the lifespan of my computer's operating system (which has just suffered an extinction event).
