One millionth of the fundamental unit of time in the
Furlong/Firkin/Fortnight system of measurement; 1.2096 sec.
(A furlong is 1/8th of a mile; a firkin is 1/4th of a barrel;
the mass unit of the system is taken to be a firkin of water).
The VMS operating system has a lot of tuning parameters that
you can set with the SYSGEN utility, and one of these is
TIMEPROMPTWAIT, the time the system will wait for an operator
to set the correct date and time at boot if it realises that
the current value is bogus. This time is specified in
microfortnights!
Multiple uses of the millifortnight (about 20 minutes) and
nanofortnight have also been reported.

<unit, humour> About 31 mm (one inch). "atto-" is the
standard SI prefix for multiplication by 10^-18. A parsec
(parallax-second) is 3.26 light-years; an attoparsec is thus
3.26 * 10^-18 light years. Thus, one attoparsec per
microfortnight is about one inch per second.
This unit is reported to be in use (though probably not very
seriously) among hackers in the UK.

An unusual unit of measurement is a unit of measurement that does not form part of a coherent system of measurement, especially because its exact quantity may not be well known or because it may be an inconvenient multiple or fraction of a base unit.
