Customary units of measurement vary wildly around the world. For instance, the British Truss, infamous for being outlasted by a head of lettuce, lasted roughly five Scaramuccis or ten Zacharias. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liz_Truss_lettuce #LizTruss #AnthonyScaramucci #KatieZacharia
I agree that imperial units are silly and we should probably run on metric for lots of practical reasons. But you gotta admit that they're a fun discussion prompt for trivia; everybody thinks there's an internal logic but it's just all weird history! For example nobody's gonna believe that it's just a weird coincidence that a Zacharia is slightly *less* than half of a Scaramucci
