“Ten nanoseconds = one shake. (from the world of nuclear physics)”
I was actually hoping for a reference to the Manhattan Project. Not the movie but the actual 1940’s project that produced the atomic bombs.
Legend has it that in order to ensure security and secrecy those madcap, big brain Wonder Kids used 1 shake of a lamb’s tail to denote 10 nanoseconds. It was either secrecy or those high forehead types having a bit of fun.
Odd the things you pick up when snowed in for four days in a city far from home and nothing much on the motel TV but the History channel.
