AND WHAT'S THE SI UNIT FOR MEASURING IN "LOVE" ANYWAY? Random thoughts spurred by listening to "Seasons of Love" on the iPod on the way in to work this morning:
- What about leap years? There are 527,040 minutes in those. Do we just write off the added 1,440 minutes?
- While the song correctly proclaims that there are 525,600 minutes in a year, it subsequently proclaims that a year contains only 525,000 "moments so dear." Are "moments so dear" marginally longer than minutes? Or is not every minute a "moment so dear?"
- If you're going to measure in "midnights" or "sunsets," isn't it, barring a change in the laws of physics, just going to be the same as measuring in days?
- A year allegedly includes "525,000 journeys to plan." That seems a little excessive.
