If I ever meet a real live meteorologist, first of all I'm going to
ask her how many meteors she's actually seen, then I'm going to use
wacky units to measure everything. "Yes I was driving my truck along
at 167024.24 furlongs/fortnight, when suddenly a kangaroo jumped out in
front! This kangaroo was at least 216 barleycorns high! So I did the
only safe thing and ran into it. At least I salvaged 750 hectograms of
meat for the dog out of this sad incident".


How many cubits per hogshead does your truck get?


Assuming that you are using 864 shoeiron cubits, about 6638696.4
cubits/hogshead of diesel.
