Well, hey, I'm not quite *that* bad...I meant I had no idea of the speed of "a mile a minute" in terms of kilometres per hour. The 60mph part I knew. ;-)
On the other hand, I'm darn sure that 60mph doesn't translate into 9.6 km/hr.

What?! Where is it?! I *have* to go see a city called "Rat Mouth". Wow. What do they call the people who live there? Rat Mouthers? Ewwwwwwww.
