Re: This alternate-units stuff is getting out of hand...
Is there any free online Danny DeVito to Corgi conversion tool? Or Danny DeVito to metric Emperor Penguins...

Same as hectopascals to millibars and cubic decimeter to liter.Danny DeVito to metric Emperor Penguins conversion

So ironic that "pound" (symbol lb from the Latin "libra") is the British unit while Sir Isaac Newton, president of the Royal Society of London for the Improvement of Natural Knowledge, is the metric unit.…and we[no italics] will remember this one: https://www.wired.com/2010/11/1110mars- ... er-report/

[i]We[/i] need to simplify things.
As this is getting increasingly confusing, I propose the AD Measuring System:
Length is to be measured in Gabriels, with 1 Gabriel being equivalent to 6.33 Corgis or 1.93 Emperor Penguins,
Mass is to be measured in Brians, with 1 Brian being equivalent to 0.71 Baby Elephants.
Less useful, more obscure equivalences:
1 Gabriel = 1.93 meters.
1 Brian = 140 kilograms.
Please note that Density is Not_to be measured in mass/volume but in Evans, with 1 Evan being equivalent to infinite density.

Pressure: 747RTOs
Angle units are Base to Final banks (formerly 60 degrees). (Or should THIS be the Gabriel- the angle at which most wings stall)
Length is Giant squid
Temperature units: ITSs (a relatively cool value)
Sound units are JT8-Ds

I propose a different unit for bank angle: https://youtube.com/shorts/P2P10VgCsgQ?feature=share
Corgi head tilts, or "CHT". May be a little confusing to owners of piston-powered aeroplanies with advanced engine instrumentation, but they'll get over it.

Does that include or not_include carryon luggage?1 Brian = 140 kilograms.

As God as my witness, a FB friend posted this today:
Ironingly, this guy is a retired hell-better aeroengineer from the silver singular arch company!
Also, TODAY, someone posted about the distance unit of smooth.
Amazing coincidence!
Is anyone here known as “Bill” in real life?

Re: This alternate-units stuff is getting out of hand...
Well I was figuring you could fit about 4 Corgis in a square meter. In practice, it depends on whether they are lying, sitting, standing, or running around.
