一瞬間等於0.36秒?

根據佛教梵典《僧只律》書中的記載，一「剎那」為一「念」；二十「念」為一「瞬」；二十「瞬」為一「彈指」；二十「彈指」為一「羅預」；二十「羅預」為一「須臾」；而一日一夜則有三十「須臾」。於是乎，就產生了以下算式：

　　一晝夜＝30須臾＝600羅預＝12,000彈指＝240,000瞬間＝4,800,000剎那

而因為一晝夜共有86,400秒，若將每個單位以秒數表示，便可得出：

一「須臾」＝2,880秒；
一「彈指」＝7.2秒；
一「瞬間」＝0.36秒；
一「剎那」和一「念」之間＝0.018秒

Four habits to extend life for 14 years

According to a study of 20,000 men and women by Kay-Tee Khaw and colleagues at the University of Cambridge, four habits can increase lifespan by 14 years:

• not smoking
• exercising regularly
• eating five servings of fruit and vegetables a day
• drinking alcohol moderately (drinking between one to fourteen units of alcohol a week. 14 units are around nine 125 ml glasses of wine, or seven pints of 3-4% beer. )
  

I guess I need to exercise more... eat more fruit and vegetables... and drink more alcohol.... hahahahaha.... :D
