After all, I have no recollection of an hour being comprised of 100 minutae when I lived in Europe, nor, for that matter, were there ever other than 24 hours in a day. I think we should have 10 hours in a day, each hour should have 100 minutes and each minute should have 100 seconds.
The second would be about 20% shorter than the current second, the minute about 33% longer, and the hour would be a lot longer, about 2.4 times longer than now. So most TV programs would be either half hour or quarter hour shows, and a one hour movie would be about as long as most people would have patience for. -- Michaelwagner _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
