My eldest just asked me how many seconds are in 1000 years.
60 x 60 x 24 x 365.25 x 1000
= 31 557 600 000 seconds.
So, now you know too.

@sarajw This reminds me of one of the best ways I've come across to grasp the massive difference between a million and a billion:
1 million seconds = ~12 days
1 billion seconds = ~32 years
@RangerRick hah!
Actually I learned recently that seconds are called seconds, because they are the second time division of an hour, the first being minutes. So... Divide by 60? :)
@jaydax nah we don't have voice activated things in the house, they weird me out.
@sarajw It's counter-intuitive isn't it? 32 years just feels so disproportionately more than 12 days!
@nickautomatic it's only the difference of 1000, but yes! Seems so confusing
