Come now, can't we be a bit more creative with the units of measure? I
suggest Palm-Stones instead of Foot-Pounds might be more in keeping with
arcane yet descriptive measures. (70 ft-lbs = 20 palm-stones, 1 palm = 3
inches, 1 stone = 14 pounds).
I considered Barleycorn-Pennyweights but that seemed TOO obscure. (70
ft-lbs = 806400 Bc-Pw)
Any other suggestions?
