How do You Measure Up?

  • Have you ever fathomed what life would be like without measurements? Has the idea of a life without knowing the difference between a cubit and a span made you unable to sleep at night? Why is a ruler called a ruler? Why do we have three feet in a yard? Where did an inch come from? And what is the big deal about metrics anyway! Kind of makes you wonder what Mark Twain would have said about all of this stuff, doesn't it?

    Don't Panic!

    Help is on the way!

    We will not only explain the how-to and where-for's of measurement, but we will help you figure out how this whole idea got started in the first place and how to use the information provided.
