This is not really the right group but I'm not sure where it really belongs...
and because there's such a collection of people here, surely someone 
would have the answer.... ;)

How did it came about that we have 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in
an hour? What about the situation with degrees (i.e., 60 minutes in a degree,
60 seconds in a minute.) I seem to recall vaguely that it may had to do with 
the Babylonians.

Of course, email will suffice.
