A jiffy is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second. Thus the saying, I will be there in a jiffy.

The first domain name ever registered was Symbolics.com on March 15, 1985

The tip of a bullwhip moves so fast that it breaks the sound barrier. The crack of the whip is actually a tiny sonic boom

When the Galileo Probe entered Jupiter's atmosphere, it was traveling at a speed of 106,000 miles per hour. This is the fastest impact speed ever achieved by a man-made object

Heres a good one i got from watching Mythbusters on Discovery Channel (great prog )
If you are being shot at, swim underwater, bullets lose so much speed as they hit water you dont have to be that far under to not be hurt.
In fact, the more powerful supersonic weapons can barely hurt you even if you was only slighlty under water, as the bullets just explode into lil bits the second they hot the water.
They tried tons of guns, even the mental 50calibre sniper rifles that can take your head clean off from a mile away did fuck all, the bullets disintergrate the moment they hit the water.

So that's like saying no-one ever died from driving a car...
