It should clearly be in micro-fortnights (=B5f).  The fortnight is well =
known
as the time unit used to express velocities in the US.  For instance, =
the
speed of light is 1802617573821.33 furlongs per fortnight.  See
http://www.msi.com.np/html/conversions/velocity.htm for a handy =
converter if
you want to use silly units such as m/s.

In Canada, which has recently (1977) converted to metric, I think we =
use
=B0C/kg for speeds. I haven't yet made out the speed of light, nor have =
I
found a converter on the Web.
