I think you'll find that arms manufacturers and wall construction companies will be up in the kilospaniels. |
|
| |
The Spaniel will be like the Farad - far too large for practical use. A Spaniel is such a huge unit of irrepressible excitement and enthusiasm that it doesn't translate to a human context. |
|
| |
Even a toddler with ADHD who has been transfused intravenously with Sunny Delight on Christmas morning is only going to register at about 45 microSpaniels. |
|
| |
The breed and age of the reference standard Spaniel will need to be carefully specified, as an eight-month-old Springer Spaniel puppy who's just seen a duck jump into a pond will overload even the most robust instrumentation. |

The Henry is a splendid measure. |

Personally, I prefer the SI unit of Zen enlightenment, the Ohmm. |
|
| |
Don't say we didn't tell you. |
|
| |
We told you not to tell us that. |
|

I must resist on the basis of the prefix. We are in
enough trouble with the only other SI unit with a prefix,
the kilogram. |
|
| |
"that's 1.0 x 10exp3 grams" |
|
| |
"easy, that's one millikilogram, 0.001 of the SI unit of
mass" |
|
| |
"so the SI unit of mass is a thousand times one
thousandth of itself?" |
|
| |
"how did that mess happen?" |
|
| |
Sp. "french", Pr. "Evil smelly foreign gits" |
|
| |
Alternatively, you could use the Megaretreiver, or the
inverse decidoberman as a standard unit. |

A Yocto Shih Tzu might help with that bit of sausage... |

You've never really made the acquaintance of a pedigree Tzu, have you ? We can tell. |
|
| |
The idea of a Tzu ever doing anything "helpful" is hilarious. |
|
| |
Take a very large dog, and identify all the positive features that dogs are reknowned for - loyalty, stamina, obedience, bravery, and patience. |
|
| |
Then throw all those away, because they're not needed. Double up on the quantities of greed, egotism, idleness and self-interest. Cram in intelligence, malice, and total contempt for any other living thing until there's no space left. Squash down the resulting Size 13 personality into a Size 2 body, assembled from components from Mugwai, Ewoks, and other super-cute creatures, including thick, soft, Chinchilla-like fur. |
|
| |
Instill an overweening sense of arrogance and self-importance (minimal explanation required) and let it loose upon the world to cause chaos and bewilderment. |
|

Almost, but not quite. They don't shed fur. They don't scratch furniture. They don't crap in other people's flower beds. They don't howl at 0330 on a Sunday morning. They don't slaughter songbirds. They don't strew fleas everywhere they go. They don't vomit copiously behind the sofa. They are hypoallergenic. They don't leave half-mice in the middle of the kitchen floor ... |
|
| |
No, this is about thousandths of the hopefulness of a spaniel. |
|
| |
Perhaps you want next door. I think they might have a "younger - people - born - a - couple - of - decades - before - the - Y2K - bug R us" franchise there. |
|
| |
Ah, you can't get me that way; I don't believe in generations. |
|
| |
Also, I don't think you mean "transpires". Not really. |
|
| |
Surely a transpire is just an undead person with gender issues? |
