nanofortnights

Colin M | October 7, 2006 | 3:27 pm

Tim asked me how long I thought something he was waiting for would take today. My reply was "54 nanofortnights," which sounded a lot wittier before I ran the math and found out I had just specified 0.06 seconds. Oops. Then we learned that I can't round, since 0.0653184 is typically rounded to 0.07 seconds. Yikes. Look what this "new math" has wrought upon us...

Television's just some weak anesthetic
to numb the senses 'til you're out like a light.
Like all these drugs, they seem to promise you the earth,
and then they don't keep you warm in the night...
David Ford, "I'm Alright Now"
