OT archaic units of measurement (was Re: 9 Minute clutchchange!)

[ats at longcoeur.com (Patrick Bureau)]

Humm NFl on tv today had a new play by play announcer. From the british
league of old measurements Jack Rippe

And sanders runs again on this play and after the tackle, he carried the
leather pig for one rod.

Heheh could make watching the cowboys more watchable.

Then can I say that on my trip to visit my brother I aberaged 36.11 meters
per second?
That over the 60800 rods I only used 6122 Drams of gasoline?
