    Question #94052. neelie_447 asks:

    Take the term that refers to 10^9 years. How is its abbreviation related to the only ultraconvex cattle breed in the world?


    rxbigdawg

    		The Gir is distinctive in appearance, typically having a rounded and domed forehead (being the only ultraconvex breed in the world), long pendulous ears and horns which sweep back, out and aft, spiralling on its course.

    A varient spelling of the gir is Gyr.

    In astronomical terms a gyr is a gigayear or 1 billion years.
