	Sure, and the thing answered by (5 kilogram meters per second) knows this also.

	Not at all. >>per could answer an instance of a new class called "CompositeUnit" or somesuch, which performs dimensional analysis algebra. It could have a "numerator" of (5 kilogram meters), and a "denominator" which is set by the ensuing >>second. I think it's quite doable.

	This is nothing. :)

	heh... 'reminds me of the old Stupid Unix Shell Tricks, where the shell would say amusing things in response to "make love" ("don't know how to make love. Stop."), "gotta light?" ("gotta: no match"), "whois god" ("god does not exist"), etc., etc.

	Obviously it's a silly contrived expression. But if you add the corresponding contrived globals and method then it runs, which I find mildly amusing.
