My car gets 40 Altuves to the hogshead and that’s the way I likes it.”

So-named because all through the Iraq war Friedman, who LOVED him some war, would periodically write a column in the Times that invariably included the clause, “in the next six months, we should know…” or “in the next six months, the situation should be clear” or similar gibberish meant to kick any criticism of the war down the road so he could avoid admitting he was dead wrong. Which he has since done by avoiding all mention of both Iraq and the Bush administration and his role as cheerleader.

I say go for The Altuve as your unit of measure. It at least makes sense. I bet with no more than 2.5 Ecksteins of effort you could get it adopted at a national level….well mostly national. There will always be some hold-outs who claim that God Wouldn’t Want It. After all they do believe the ounce was created in his image…or something.

You’re missing the significance of this.
Altuve measures in at .97 Smoots!
