New Measurements

Here is another gift from the internet. I don't know who to give credit to, but I really enjoyed these and think they belong in a trainer's kit.


2000 mockingbirds = 2 kilomockingbirds
Ratio of an igloo's circumference to its diameter = Eskimo Pi
2000 pounds of Chinese soup = Won ton
Time between slipping on a peel and smacking the pavement = 1 bananosecond
Half of a large intestine = 1 semicolon
1000 aches = 1 megahurtz
Basic unit of laryngitis = 1 hoarsepower
Shortest distance between two jokes = A straight line
1 million-million microphones = 1 megaphone
10 cards = 1 decacards
force of 1 kilogram of falling figs = 1 Fig Newton
1000 grams of wet socks = 1 literhosen
1 millionth of a fish = 1 microfiche
10 rations = 1 decoration
8 nickels = 2 paradigms
2.4 miles of intravenous surgical tubing at Harvard = 1 I.V. League

How I Would Use This

I think I would separate the first part from the second and create a kind of match up game. Perhaps the participants have to find their partners. Maybe it is a card game in which you have to find the two parts. Maybe it is a treasure hunt. I don't really know, I just know this type of thing comes in handy, so pop it in your own toolkit and let me know if you have a brilliant idea.
