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
