Kelly provides today's most useful Boston tip: Google's Calculator lets you translate units of distance into smoots. For example, 10 miles equals 9456.7 smoots (and an ear).

Dude, that is the coolest thing ever. I am totally using that the next time I teach units of measure.

Oliver Smoot later went on to become chairman of ANSI and president of ISO. Because, once you are a standard, what else are you gonna do?
