Irrelevant units of measure

A homer (Hebrew: חמר‎; also kor, Hebrew: כּר‎) is a unit of volume used by ancient Hebrews for liquids and dry goods. 1 homer is equal to 10 baths, or what was also equivalent to 30 seahs; each seah being the equivalent in volume to six kabs, and each kab equivalent in volume to 24 medium-sized eggs.[1] 1 homer equals 220 litre or 220dm3.

The homer should not be confused with the omer, which is a much smaller unit of dry measure.

Parasangs

(been reading Herodotus)

The parasang is a historical Iranian unit of itinerant distance, the length of which varied according to terrain and speed of travel. The European equivalent is the league. The parasang may have originally been some fraction of the distance an infantryman could march in some predefined period of time

The candy or candee (Marathi: खंडी, khaṇḍī;[1][2] Tamil: கண்டி, kṇṭi;[3] Malayalam: kaṇḍi,[4] kaṇṭi[5]), also known as the maunee, was a traditional South Asian unit of mass, equal to 20 maunds[6] and roughly equivalent to 500 pounds avoirdupois (227 kilograms).[4][7] It was most used in southern India, to the south of Akbar's empire, but has been recorded elsewhere in South Asia. In Marathi, the same word was also used for a unit of area of 120 bighas (25 hectares, very approximately), and it is also recorded as a unit of dry volume.

The batman (Turkish pronunciation: [batˈman]) was a unit of mass used in the Ottoman Empire and among Turkic peoples of the Russian Empire. It has also been recorded as a unit of area in Uyghur-speaking regions of Central Asia. The name is Turkic (Ottoman Turkish baṭmān; Chagatai bātmān),[1] but was also sometimes used for the equivalent unit in Persia ( من, man).[2][3] The equivalent unit in British India was anglicized as the maund. The value of the batman (or maund) varied considerably from place to place.

The hobbit (also hobbett, hobbet, or hobed, from Welsh: hobaid) is a unit of volume or weight formerly used in Wales for trade in grain and other staples. It was equal to four pecks or two and a half bushels, but was also often used as a unit of weight, which varied depending on the material being measured. The hobbit remained in customary use in markets in northern Wales after Parliament standardized the Winchester bushel as the unit of measure for grain, after which courts gave inconsistent rulings as to its legal status.

The Pertica, land measure, contains 24 Tavole, or 96 square Cavezzi

The corn measure, which is called Midmno, answers to 0,7509 of a Hecto-litre, or 2,1312 English Bushels. The measure called Moose weights 44 Occas, or 123lb. avoirdupois : the Coffino contains half an English Bushel.

Despite being referenced in the well-known Peter Piper tongue twister, pickled peppers are so rarely sold by the peck[citation needed] that any association between pickled peppers and the peck unit of measurement is considered humorous in nature.

Scrupulum, meaning a tiny stone (from scrupus sharp stone), indicates a weight of 1/24 of an ounce or, by extension, of other measures. Metaphorically, the stone is thought to be sharp and pricking, like a thorn.

As a weight or a coin, 1/24 of an uncia, or 1/288 of an as[1]
As a measure of land, 1/288 of a jugerum[2]
As a measure of time, 1/24 part of an hour.[3]
The forms scripulum, scriptulum, scriplus and scriptulus can be found, scriptulum being also associated with the lines on a draughtboard.

The Wedgwood scale (°W) is an obsolete temperature scale, which was used to measure temperatures above the boiling point of mercury of 356 °C (673 °F). The scale and associated measurement technique were proposed by the English potter Josiah Wedgwood in the 18th century. The measurement was based on the shrinking of clay when heated above red heat, and the shrinking was evaluated by comparing heated and unheated clay cylinders. The scale started at 1,077.5 °F (580.8 °C) being 0° Wedgwood and had 240 steps of 130 °F (54 °C). Both the origin and the step were later found inaccurate.
