Whatever... just because some folks redefined the old world imperial system doesn't mean there were no basis for them.

Six: 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 = 3 x 2 x 1 (this is called a "perfect number"). In Greek 6 is the number of cosmic order.

(6+6) x (6+6) x 6000 = 864,000 = Diameter of the Sun in miles.
6 x 6 x 60 = 2,160 = Diameter of the Moon in miles.
(6+6) x 660 = 7,920 = Diameter of the Earth in miles.

7,920in = 1 furlong (or 660ft)
7,920ft = 1/2 league or 1.5 nautical miles
1 nautical mile = 1 minute of latitude
60,000mi = Jules Verne's 20,000 leagues (under the sea)

6 x 60 x 660 = 237,600mi = Distance between Earth & Moon.
66,600 mph = Earth's speed around the Sun
66.6 degrees = Earth tilt measured from its ecliptic path _\, or 23.4 degrees measured from orthogonal line drawn to the ecliptic |

60 minutes = 1 hour
60 seconds = 1 minute
864,000 = seconds in a day (see also diameter of the sun in miles).
864,000 years = a Hindu Yuga division
8,640,000,000 years = 1 Day and 1 Night of Brahma
864 = Number of "New Jeruselem" in Christian sacred numerology.

31,680 feet = 6 miles
31,680 furlongs = Earth's radius
31,680 miles = Earth's square
316.80 feet = circumference of the Sarsen Circle at Stonehenge
(lol, wat, we just square the MF-ing circle, yo, Metric can never do that)

If earth is spheroid approximately 25040 miles in circumference:
In 3 miles laterally the surface will have dropped 6ft.
In 10 miles the surface will have curved 66.6ft, like that 66.6° tilt.
In 100 miles the drop due to curvature is 6660ft

So, while it's easier to do some basic bitch calculations that we have computers for, or even abacus in yester years... are people seriously complaining about basic bitch ratios they could write down if they wanted to? The Imperial system is infinitely more beautiful than any new-age crockery that's totally arbitrary. The heavenly bodies and the earth are not arbitrary... In the metric system you started with something arbitrary, a millilitre then built up a bunch of based 10 measures based on it, then claim it means anything of importance.

Meh, whatever. Fools will fool themselves. Imperial is sacred geometry, metric is mundane.
