Actually a friend who lived in Rome proposed a new European definition of the nanosecond as the time between the lights going green and the sound of the horn of the car behind you. I still remember driving in the rushhour in Rome, now _that_ was scary. On 15 January 2012 14:40, Skip Withrow

Dear nuts, I would like to propose a new unit of time, the 'textsecond'. This is the interval of time from the time the signal light turns green to when the driver behind the idiot texting driver honks their horn. Still collecting data on its exact length, but seeing a lot more examples lately.
