Old chinese saying : It be a next-day delivery in a nanosecond world.
as some heart gladenning Zen-master, quoted.

But herein lies a teensie weensie flaw.:)
Let us analyze.Listen to me very carefully, I will say this only onze.
One Nanosecond = 1/billionth of a second, .ie. 0.000000001 seconds.In the normal world which runs on seconds, and not nanoseconds, it takes 9 months Average Processing Time[APT] for a baby to be manufactured.So delivery in the normal world = 9 months or 24105600 secondsSo it follows logically, that in a world which replaces seconds with nanoseconds, delivery would happen in exactly 0.0241056 seconds. Which is lesser than One Second.
So the question of a next-day delivery does not arise. Delivery will happen in 24105600 nanoseconds or 0.0241056 seconds.
The Chinese were pretty charismatic and quirky with their proverbs, but some way off when it came to accuracy. The Japanese on the other hand are quite sexy with their lithe bodies and that wonderful public custom called hurry-curry or the like.
The next-day in the nanosecond world will be the far future. A hundred years in the nanosecond world totals to a measly 3.16 seconds. The next day, i.e. 24 hours will mean 2734177.25 years.
By then we will be in the Post PolyEthic Age, and table etiquette will be the gravest problem facing mankind.
Now you can kill me:)
