Mark,
And how long is a metric second?

I know that was a joke, but I'll answer it anyway. Years ago, I worked at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (where we had a sign posted in the gift shop saying that shoplifters would be turned over to our laboratories for experimentation), and there was an exhibit on the metric system. It stated that units of time, such as seconds and minutes, were metric units. The reason given was that the International Metric Association said so!
Another reason why I hate anything Euro.

Then all those reaches and over-the-backs must be fouls because coaches say so :-b
