Sieverts? Paul, again, you are so silly!!!
He was meaning 1.26MV, (milli Volts), lets see how:
hehe, perhaps a militarized Sentry, a battalion of 500 fully armored
men, so 500mS, but then again, it can not be Siemens, the conductance
unit, because german people don't do things less than a whole unit and
it would represent ¸ Siemens, right? oh well, the world don't need to be
complicated, so why not say everything in hours, it is easy, everyone
understand it...:)  so 500ms... errr, 500mS, would be 138.8mH... ooops,
does it sound as micro hour?... probably not, perhaps 138.8mHrs... still
wrong, now everyone will think it is micro Henries, huh?... but using
138.8µh is so difficult to entry the "µ" symbol, so nobody will use it
anyway, and lets say that "hour" is an important part of the day so it
needs to be written in capital letter (this is why the "H"), but talking
about day, anyone knows what is a day, so why not say that the above
delay is just 5.7md (micro day, not a "medical doctor"), and the use of
"m" for micro is because it is difficult to type "µ" and bla bla bla,
and everyone knows how to differentiate "m" (micro) from "m" (milli),
isn't that right? or perhaps we should use "M" for milli to avoid any
confusion? oh ho, what about M for Mega?, easy, we use "Meg" instead.
ok, now everything is clear. 500mS = 0.8mW (micro week), because if it
would be "Watt", then we would have a voltage... square of 0.0000008
Watt times 500mS (2 Ohms) = sqr(0.0000016) or 1.26mv... oops, 1.26MV,
argg, doesn't matter, anyone knows that it means 1.26 milli Volts, so
this is the easier way, so we all are set and ready for our project
documentation, that will be easy to do and *everyone* will understand. 

cheer up, come on, I saw your smile..

Wagner.
