A perfect staff to read on the loo. I should print it & then in a year I'd memorize all the numbers!

For example, I didn't know that,
watch == 4 hours # time a sentry stands watch or a ship's crew is on duty.
bell == 1/8 watch # Bell would be sounded every 30 minutes
mill == 0.001 # Originally established by Congress in 1791 as a unit of money equal to 0.001 dollars, it has come to refer to 0.001 in general.
or I don't remember ever referencing to inductance as henry; 0.9534 ohm as siemens.
