Here's a fun idea: If you want to really terrify the living daylights 
out of yourself, try calculating your age /in hours/. >:-)

Far more formidable: in heart's beat (average at 70/minutes)...

  I have decided to start using megaminutes instead of years (one megaminute
is approximately 1.9 years) and picolightyears instead of kilometers (one
picolightyear is approximately 9.5 km or 5.1 nautical miles).

Well /my/ average heart rate isn't 70BPM. :-P (Try 90 or so...)

I believe it was They Might Be Giants who sang:

   Time... is marching on.
   And time... is still marching on!

Megaminutes sounds cool. Picolightyears is just too unwieldy.

Then again, people measure electrical inductance in "henrys" rather than 
"square meter kilograms per square second square ampere" for a reason. ;-)

OMFG, I just had the coolest idea: Rather than calling it a 
picolightyear, we could call it a "warp"! :-D
