Huh, I learned something today. Kudos, and despite the handy even division by the first 6 natural numbers, metric time still sounds pretty appealing to me if we had jumped on it a lot sooner in human history (pre-industrial revolution would have been nice). Our current physical measurement definitions for so many units being based on seconds having to be changed would be a massive shock to the system Système Internationale. I don't mind floats, but I don't want to get in to a pointed argument... :-)

Mmm, delicious nostalgia.

Just another Perl hooker - Yes, I'll do really dirty code, but I charge extra.
