Blue Whales as unit of weight.Everyone knows the SI unit for weight is the elephant… “that tram weighs the same as five elephants”; “the new Range Rover weighs half an elephant”!
They also know the size for aquatic ‘acreage’ is the Sydney Harbour… “the introduction of water saving measures has reduced annual water consumption in our city by two Sydney harbours”
What’s the SI unit for going off topic?
Feedback: Time to standardise blue whales, red buses and Wales
The kilogram is dead, but blue whales still come in all shapes and sizes. Plus: low energy electricity, magnetic pimples, Irish UFOs and more
