Smoot

In 1958, an MIT student named Oliver Smoot measured a bridge as a part of a fraternity pledge. But he wasn't allowed to use a ruler or tape measure. He had to use himself. He laid down at the start of the bridge, a couple of students marked where his head and his feet were, and then he moved over and laid down again. After an hour and a half of this, results were in: The bridge was 364.4 smoots long.
1 Smoot = 1.7014270033 meters
1 Smoot = 5.5821095909 feet
