Grace Hopper on nanoseconds
That first paragraph was as good as unreadable thanks to all the miles, gallons and Fahrenheits.<p>11.8 inch ... times about 2.5 is umm wait it's a link, maybe if I hover it, no they didn't put metric in the title tags either.<p>"In one millisecond, light travels 186 miles", which is about the same distance as a million squirrels put head-to-toe. Why not measure in squirrels? It makes about the same amount of sense, except that "one million" is a nice round number, unlike "186".
