I'm not sure how useful micro-fortnights are, but just for grins we (in
this we refers to the group of people I was at Imperial COllege with)
used to work in micro-furlongs and milli-fortnights. A micro-furlong is
a quite useful unit, being about 1/5th of a millimeter or 1/125th of an
inch and a milli-fortnight is a very reasonable 20 minutes. I'm
delighted to see the use of a similar unit so well documented.
