Actually, the quote is attributed to Johnny Hart, the artist and author 
of "B.C." and "The Wizard of Id."

"Correct you are, sir!" Acceleration is measured in distance per time 
squared.

Finally, I like your choice of heroes. It is better to have a physicist 
for a hero than a steroid riddled athlete that makes millions endorsing 
sneakers made in a third world country by people that can not afford to 
buy the very sneakers that they make.
