1,802,617,504,128 furlongs/fortnight
Recently I changed the “personal message” for my IM account. I came across a humorous expression in Latin: “Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes”, that roughly translated means. “If you can read this you are over educated”.
A co-worker named Darren commented on it today. His personal message said: “186,000 Miles/Second(300,000 km/s for Roy): It’s Not Just A Good Idea, It’s The Law!”. For the curious, Roy is another co-worker that is from Holland. He was giving Darren a hard time about using British units of measure.
I suggested furlongs/fortnight instead. I did the math (’cause I’m a geek), and DANG! That’s a lotta furlongs!
We now return you to your regular programming.
