Catchy.
Yeah, exactly.
Now, each foot, if you divide that into thirds, you get a hand.
Well, of course, three hands to the feet.
Makes sense.
Each hand, if you cut that in half, you get a stick.
If you take a stick and snap it in half, you get an inch.
If you take three inches, you get a palm.
If you divide it into four, you get digits.
You take three digits, you get a nail.
You take four nails, you get a span.
If you take two spans, you get a cubit.
Now, that cubit, if you divide that into thirds, you get a chapment, which is a slightly insulting unit.
And if you are actually keeping track, Tim, that would be 243.2 million chapments under the sea.
I knew that.
That's a much catchier title.
Now, five chapments in a row is a pace.
If you take two paces, you've taken one step.
If you take four steps, you've just walked along a rope.
If you take five ropes, you get a Ramsden's chain.
