In celebration of World Metrology Day this week (May 20), here's "The proclamation regarding weights and measures, 1556", a mural by Ford Madox Brown completed c.1893, depicting the announcement that the residents of Manchester "shall send in all manner of weights and measures to be tried by their Majesties standard". The announcement seems to be received about as well as you might expect.

Caption contest, anyone?

The mural "The proclamation regarding weights and measures, 1556" by Ford Madox Brown. On the right, an old blind man with white dog rings a bell while holding a scroll, apparently announcing the new decree. Listening to the announcement are a grocer leaning out his store window, looking a little annoyed by the disruption, the grocer's wife grating cheese over some food, a young man with archery bow possibly trying to trade goods with the grocer, and a peasant with baby sitting on the ground who doesn't appear to know what's going on. A giant wheel of cheese sits on the sidewalk under the grocer's window.

The same painting with speech bubbles added.

Old man: "By order of his majesty, all weights and measures must be calibrated!"

Grocer: "Great, how am I going to sell my giant cheese wheel while my weights are out for cal?"

Grocer's wife: "Whatever. This needs more Parmesan."

Peasant: "What's a weights and measures?"

For all the Mastodon Weights and Measures enthusiasts:

George Washington (Nate Bargatze) tells his soldiers (Kenan Thompson, Mikey Day, Bowen Yang, James Austin Johnson) his dream for the country.

It's amusing that that's (if one checks the arithmetic and allows for error) avoirdupois, not troy.

I generally prefer the #metric system of weights and measures, but I do have one notable exception…

I strongly believe that #pints are the ideal measure/portion of beverages no matter what you're drinking. 🍻☕🥛🥤

Looks like short measure to me.

It really annoys me that most fiction in English, and more particularly that translated into English, uses measures in the imperial system. It feels strange reading this in Ireland, an anachronism with contemporary characters.
But of course it's due to us getting books destined for the larger US and UK markets

I just read that, in 2019, the definition of the kilogram was redefined in terms of the second (instead of Le Grand K). But I don’t understand how that’s possible. Something to do with Planck’s constant. If anyone can explain how in 1 sentence, I’d appreciate it. #weightsandmeasures #planck #BIPM #metrology

We move so much Data we had to invent a couple new terms.

The following have been officially added to the International System of Units

ronna (27 zeroes after the first digit) and quetta (30 zeroes), which are now at the top of the measurement range, and ronto (27 zeroes after the decimal point) and quecto (30 zeroes), which are now at the bottom.
