Ah, yes! They are 8 seconds.

Whew. I thought there were 10 DeciMinutes per Minute, thus making 8 "Standard" seconds something along the lines of 1.33 DeciMinutes.

Don't tell Mark Padgett, it's a French thing.

The most expensive cheeseburger I have ever had was in Italy ($28 but I was two tables over from Sting - the singer not the rassler) and I asked a waiter in Grenoble (FR) if I could have grilled steak tar tar!! The French have no sense of humor, but I did tell him I LOVED their fries, bread and toast!

Why on earth would anybody eat a cheeseburger in Italy? You just had what you deserved.

Oh I agree, and I ate VERY well the next couple of days. However, if you had been where I had been for the previous couple of months, as an American, I felt it was my DUTY to go for a cheeseburger first.!

Well, the first thing I ate, last time I went to the US, was a cheeseburger. And pretty good, I'd say. When in Rome…
