Great! Still a good read though and it certainly conveys sentiment I am sure is shared by many (and perhaps even more so in post-recession 2011) :P

I'm confused on what kind of 90+ year old person would use nanoseconds in their vocab... Don't hate on me, I've just never heard anyone (of that age) talk like that.

I believe that this submission is only superficially interesting, sorry.

Can easily happen if the individual is a physiscist. :)
Edward Teller wrote this book in his 90+s, and nanosecond is certainly not the most technical word in this book:)

Freeman Dyson is 87. Nobel Prize winning neuroscientist David Hubel is 84 and still working; I see him around the building where I work. Ray Bradbury is 90, and while he may not be fond of the internet, I expect he's familiar with nanoseconds.
Grace Hopper went on the David Letterman show at 79 and showed her example nanosecond - a length of telephone wire that would take a nanosecond for a signal to traverse. She died at 85 in 1992 and would probably still be talking about nanoseconds today if she were still alive and mentally sharp.
