There's a whole world of unofficial units.
http://wiki.c2.com/?WhimsicalUnitsOfMeasurement No ginger pussies,
although the RCH is there under unit of distance, which must be related
(the smallest measurement known to man. The width of one "red c*nt
hair"), and the Smoot is there. A friend at uni used to talk of walking
speed as picoparsecs per hour (although actual walking speeds are about
0.2pps/h, or 4mph)
where I trust "h" is a sidereal hour
Considering the distance unit used, it would have been foolish in the
extreme to have done otherwise. :-)
