Carl Sagan blog-a-thon is Dec. 20

Write a post about the man who coined the phrase “billions and billions.” [ via Paul T. Riddell ]

Correction: In the comments, Karnak points out that it was Johnny Carson, not Sagan who created the phrase “billions and billions”. However, Sagan used the phrase as the title of his last book.

    Carl Sagan did NOT coin the phrase Billions and Billions.
    Johnny Carson did on the Tonight Show on NBC.

    I thought this myth was finally dispelled by now.
