This morning, baby Mia is staggering around the yard at high speed, throwing stones at the cat. Her proudest moment was two stones launched simultaneously, one from each hand, and surprisingly accurately. From a distance of at least 7 feet* they fell only about 6 inches** short, but otherwise right on target. If this is normal behaviour for an 11 month old, I’m a chinaman.
*For seafaring types, in fathoms, this is 1.16666 recurring.
**For horseracing types, in furlongs this is 0.000757575 recurring.

No, 1.6 recurring fathoms is 10 feet.
7 feet is 1.16666 recurring.
No complaints about the furlongs.Perhaps you could refer to 11 months as 29 megaseconds?

Oh dear, I’ve revealed myself as a landlubber. I’m going to correct the original post before anyone else finds out.
Months depends what kind of month you decide to use I suppose, but at the time of writing this she’s 29,537,681 seconds old.
