It was obviously hyperbole, he could have just as easily said 'a zillion years ago' and not change the meaning of his sentence.
I do know how to spell
AniThyng is merely the name I gave to what became my favourite Baldur's Gate II mage character :P

I'm still not sure why people are even exploring this option; it seems completely absurd when one could simply bury the stuff.
You're speaking as someone who actually knows the dangers of fission leftovers (i.e. none really if we actually dealt with them properly) vs a populace that wants them as far away as possible, while at the same time thinking that dumping a minuscule amount of spent rods into the sun might upset it while not wasting a single thought on the problems arising from a bumbled launch.

'You're a princess from a society of immortal warriors. I'm a rich kid with issues. Lots of issues.'
'No. No dating for the Batman. It might cut into your brooding time.'
'Tactically we have multiple objectives. So we need to split into teams.'-'Dibs on the Amazon!'
'Hey, we both have a Martian's phone number on our speed dial. I think I deserve the benefit of the doubt.'
'You know, for a guy with like 50 different kinds of vision, you sure are blind.'
