List_of_humorous_units_of_measurement http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... The Furlong/Firkin/Fortnight (FFF) system is a humorous system of units based on unusual or impractical measurements. The length unit of the system is the furlong, the mass unit is the mass of a firkin of water, and the time unit is the fortnight.[1] Like the SI or metre-kilogram-second system, there are derived units http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... for velocity etc.
While the FFF system is not used in practice, it has been used as an example in discussions of the relative merits of different systems of units.[1][2] Some of the FFF units, notably the microfortnight, have been used jokingly in computer science. Besides having the meaning "any obscure unit",[3] furlongs per fortnight have also served frequently in classroom examples of unit conversion and dimensional analysis.[4][5] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

Synodic_month http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... [ synod http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... [[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... [[[[[[ 10 -6 Metonic_cycle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... For astronomy and calendar studies, the Metonic cycle or Enneadecaeteris (from Ancient Greek: ἐννεακαιδεκαετηρίς, "nineteen years") is a period of very close to 19 years that is remarkable for being nearly a common multiple of the solar year and the synodic (lunar) month. The Greek astronomer Meton of Athens (fifth century BC) observed that a period of 19 years is almost exactly equal to 235 synodic months and, rounded to full days, counts 6,940 days. The difference between the two periods (of 19 years and 235 synodic months) is only a few hours, depending on the definition of the year.
Considering a year to be 1⁄19 of this 6,940-day cycle gives a year length of 365 + 1⁄4 + 1⁄76 days (the unrounded cycle is much more accurate), which is slightly more than 12 synodic months. To keep a 12-month lunar year in pace with the solar year, an intercalary 13th month would have to be added on seven occasions during the nineteen-year period (235 = 19 × 12 + 7). When Meton introduced the cycle around 432 BC, it was already known by Babylonian astronomers.
A mechanical computation of the cycle is built into the Antikythera mechanism.
The cycle was used in the Babylonian calendar, ancient Chinese calendar systems (the 'Rule Cycle' 章) and the medieval computus (i.e. the calculation of the date of Easter). It regulates the 19-year cycle of intercalary months of the Hebrew calendar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
