25 kilometers of cake is my new unit of comparative measurement. The article is paywalled, but what you can see shows that I'm not hallucinating this.

I always quite liked
attoparsecs per microfortnight
since it's roughly equivalent to
inches per second.

Long ago, before the universal infestation of SI in the civilised world, we used to have some fun units in physics which included the Ångström, indicated by "Å". So, the stargate always makes me think of tiny tiny things.

I just discovered that Australia uses UK sizing for men's shoes, but US sizing for women's. Madness! And that EU sizes for men's & women's shoes are not equivalent.

I don't think that "league" has ever been a particularly precise unit. I was in two minds as I wrote it as to whether to add "Circa" - LOL

Uncertainty propagation using the Monte Carlo method can be demanding in terms of computational resources.

A team at PTB has developed an efficient alternative: the systematic sampling propagation and reconstruction convolution (SSPRC).

Imagine what multi-purpose and useful plants they would be if they could grow up to 45 meters.

They could be all types: ammeters, speedometers, voltmeters, pedometers, odometers, tachometers, anemometers, barometers, thermometers, or even gasometers.

A metrological bounty at harvest-tide.
