Surely a yard (3ft, ~90cm) is the most equivelant to a metre, not a foot

Makes sense in theory, but I already call the house down the street bigyard.

I wonder if they have an iron cast foot somewhere, like we have for iso metrics. I mean feet vary greatly in size, who was it that the first foot was measured from? See, this is what keeps me awake at night.

You're asking the wrong questions. Did they measure from heel to big toe? Or did they use the foot of one of those "second toe is longest" freaks?

Respira, respira.

Let them handle those issues, we've settled ours already.

And we don't park our car in Harvard yard. We leave our bicycle at the Technical University of München meter.

Call him Bigmet (pronounced "big-meat") for short.
