I have a wonderful anecdote about units of time:
second - about one heart beat
millisecond - about 50 of these is an eye-blink
microsecond - the cycle time of my first 8086 PC
nanosecond - the cycle time of a 1 GHz processor
onosecond - the time between hitting return and realizing you're
wiping your hard drive
