studiot Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) This thread was inspired by a comment in a recent thread here on optics so I though I'd share my Wiki research on he subject. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_humorous_units_of_measurement post#51 Edited October 30, 2017 by studiot 1
Strange Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Disappointed they don't have "Wales" as a unit of area. This is frequently used in UK reporting for things like deforestation, ice loss, etc.
Carrock Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Lovely reference. Anther measure I always liked was for acoustic absorption: square feet of open window.
