Message: [QUOTE="Bama fan, post: 3606513, member: 7757"] [USER=1161]@fang[/USER], this is a perfect vignette to aid in the furtherance of an official Hartley Unit standard. If the drunken young "Chops" at MIT can force the adoption of a new standard, surely the older, perhaps less drunken Boneyarders can carry off a similar coup. Upon researching your post, I learned that the aforementioned Oliver R, Smoot was so devoted to the science of mensuration that he went on to become both the Chairman of ANSI and the president of the ISO. A lifelong fascination with quantification that all started serendipitously with a prank perpetuated by the brothers of Zeta chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha. Unfortunately, and as an aside into "Smoot" research, I discovered that the famous Zeta chapter had descended into disrepute and was "decolonized" by the MIT administration in 2014. Thank you for allowing me to spend time advancing my general knowledge and passing part of another interminable day. [/QUOTE]
