'How much does a baby elephant weigh again?'
'As much as three large tortoises.'
'Ah yes, thanks.'

teledyn 𓂀It's not all that different from the rod, links and chains they made us learn in English public schools.
So long as the US keeps good care of their reference corgi, small boulder and baby elephant, which I assume are held safe in the Smithsonian, I'm pretty ok with it.

I have used chains and links to measure land. I was still at Primary school.
I also know what a rod, pole, or perch is, but we're not allowed Poles in the post-Brexit era.
