Good golly, now there's a practical, real-world, cultural human unit of measure. Must drive the bureaucrats in Metricland bonkers.

I've often wondered if some of the standard measurements would eventually port over to metric. I can see metric gallons, and I'm told there is a metric mile (1500 meters).
