Toronto Realtor®’s Minutes of Fame Upgraded

Posted December 22nd, 2005 | View Comments

Toronto Realtor® Fraser Beach recently enjoyed fifteen minutes of fame.

Fraser was so nice about linking back and giving me a reciprocal honorary mention, that I wanted to make sure his minutes of fame were upgraded. His Toronto Real Estate Blog really is a gem both in form and content, so you should check it out.

Now, as to the minutes of fame upgrade, I think it’s only fair that since Fraser’s from Canada we use metric minutes on this thing. (Also: nobody’s talked about the metric system in a million years, so I thought I’d resurrect that wonderful debate about it.) Let’s see how that would convert…

10 hours in a metric day, 100 minutes in a metric hour, that’s 1,000 metric minutes per day, versus 60×24 = 1440 English minutes. So Fraser’s got fifteen English minutes, which I make out to be about 10.417 metric minutes. I’m sure this mention here adds another five metric minutes or so. Converting backwards, let’s see: 22 minutes and 24 seconds, more or less.

I’m getting more postmodern every other day. Fortunately on my off days we still have some real estate content, don’t we? Anyway, Fraser, thanks for the links back and Happy Holidays / Merry Christmas as the case may be.

    How about the Hectare – I think one ate my cow.

    Joyeux Noel!

    Hectares…cool. Fur now at least, but not furlong.
