Hey thanks Leon! Long after I have forgotten that amusing story, I will

  You have: furlongs/fortnight
  You want: metres/second
	* 0.00016630986
	/ 6012.8727

There you go, its about 1/6 mm/sec. I hope NASA is using this now :-)

Even George Lucas could have used it:

  You have: parsecs
  You want: hours
