Last year, the cafeteria at IA started to carry Stacy's Pita Chips. This was a happy day for me, as I had already come to love them. Compared to regular potato chips, they're supposed to be pretty healthy, and I get them almost every day. Here's a photo (not by me) of a typical package of Stacy's Pita Chips, for those readers not in the know:
When we zoom in a bit, we can see that the people at Stacy's either did not know much about IMese, or had a sense of humor:
OMG! Cholesterol! No way! We noticed this a while ago at lunch, and everyone thought it was pretty funny. Obviously, they have not yet discovered the Truth. Let's fix that:
So, as the title implies, I think we've just created a new unit: the miliHarvey (mH)! Of course, this is derived from the Harvey, which is a unit of just about anything. This will eliminate the problems caused by having different units for everything- like what if I want to know how many ounces there are in a mile per gallon!? Impossible with the old system! Now we'll have one simple unit, the Harvey, that can measure anything:
How tall are you? Oh, about 1.4 Harveys.
How much do you weigh? 1.8 Harveys- I cound stand to lose some weight.
How far can you run continuously? If I've slept well the night before, a couple of kiloHarveys.
And how fast? Well it takes me about a decaHarvey to go that far, and 2 kiloHarveys per decaHarvey is about...200 Harveys per Harvey.
How hard do you have to push an object that weighs 3 kiloHarveys to make it accelerate at 3.4 Harveys per Harvey squared? I'd guess the force would need to be about 10.2 kiloHarvey-Harveys per Harvey squared.
See how much easier that is?
