Units of measure

To properly set the tone for this entry, it's necessary to admit that I'm not as smart as I think I am.

Upon first receiving Black and Yellow, I may or may not have confused the posted speed limit with the expected speed limit in MPH. To clarify, "MPH" stands for "Meaningful units of measure Per Hour" where "Meaningful" is an actual, measurable distance, like "one block" or "one mile". In Europe, they use the metric system. Have you heard of it?

It involves randomly selected units of measure, which are roughly equal to the forearms of babies.

For example, when a native spaniard, sitting at a bar, is asked about whether a certain locale is near or far, they will tell you that it is near enough that you will arrive there, and, perhaps, far enough that you will not. Pendejo.

I've come to learn that the correct unit of measure in europe is formulaic, and goes something like this:

Π(Δ(current location)/Σ(past location)) * (consumption of alcohol) = actual distance
