Many thanks. I found that very useful to understand the behaviour.

$ rails c
Loading development environment (Rails 3.0.3)
001:0> a_long_time = 1.year + 2.months + 3.weeks + 4.days + 5.hours +
6.minutes + 7.seconds
=> 1 year, 2 months, 25 days, and 18367 seconds
002:0> a_long_time.parts
=> [[:years, 1], [:months, 2], [:days, 21], [:days, 4], [:seconds,
18000], [:seconds, 360], [:seconds, 7]]
