It might! Remember that ThinkGeek got such a massive response to it's April Fools Joke "Taun-taun Sleeping Bag" that they actually made it for real and are now selling it.

1) Make it a April fool joke.
2) See if there is actually interest in it.
3) Profit

And nobody can actually make one since they published that they had the idea first.
Pure genius I tell you!!!

You're onto them. They win both ways.

I found some more funny ones:

51.92 jiffies = 0.20768 sec
0.27 microweeks = 0.163296 sec
0.24e+43 Planck times = 0.13 sec
0.03 femtogalactic years = 0.2039985 sec
0.18 centibeats = 0.15552 sec
0.05 nanocenturies = 0.15768 sec
16 Hertz = 0.0625 sec
0.06 microfortnights = 0.072576 sec
0.26 centon = 26 seconds.. I think they meant 0.26 micron which is 0.26 seconds

... All normal times converted to varying units

The others, like
23 skidoo
11.90 parsecs = less than 12 parsecs - Han solo
2.00 shakes of a lambs tail
etc, just means very fast]]>Apr 1st 2010 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/april-fools-day-roundup-let-me-topeka-that-for-you-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/april-fools-day-roundup-let-me-topeka-that-for-you-edition/
