Strange measurement units

While I was finding out some information on the Big Mac Index for my post on a comparison of costs of coffee in Canada and Mexico, I found a list of humorous units of measurement (on Wikipedia, of course!).

Of special note, the milli-Hellen (the amount of beauty that would launch a boat). I wonder what other funny measurements we could create. I would say that the DrunkenRaulMeasurement unit is equal to about three beers — any thoughts?
