[time-nuts] Obscure terms

[Jim Palfreyman]

Sheez - I'm so glad we have metric!!

Can I ask you US dudes a question?

Do you know, without looking it up, what an acre is?

It's such a commonly used term for measuring large areas, but I bet
most don't know what it actually is. I only know because of Pink
Floyd.

We use a hectare which is 100mx100m. Very easy to visualise, work with
and convert.
