Oh, the scaling even works with imperial units. There's nothing which
prevents people from using milligallons or nanoinches.

However, they might prefer 1.302 teaspoons or 1.024 fluid drams over a
milligallon -- assuming, that I got the conversion right ;-)

Although European and thus metric to the core, I always had a weak spot
for the imperial units because of all those nice fractions. Shifting
decimal points around is not half as much fun.

Not to speak of the advantage of 22fl.oz beers over 500ml ones :-)

Rainer (Wait a minute... Fluid DRAMs!?)
