Life is a 33 r.p.m. We are a culture of racing, panicky white rabbits. Naturally, you've noticed. We're having sex for an average of four minutes a day. Seven minutes are lavished on the care of plants and pets.
Internet users wait nine minutes daily for their Web sites to materialize.
Sixteen minutes drop into the black hole of looking for lost objects. Television sucks up three hours a day. Fine, if you order them on the Web and ship them overnight. I tried to think of things no one could make faster. There is still the three-minute egg.
