@fbievan There are many other odd and archaic units of measurement. I love it when journalists refer to a length as a number of double decker buses end to end, or a volume in Olympic swimming pools.

It also infuriates me having to convert back and forth to SI in order to be able to do useful calculations on quantities which have a reasonable chance of coming out correctly.
