If you are going to introduce new units, you should at least include the Potrzebie, invented by teenager Donald Knuth and published in the humor magazine Mad Magazine #33. The system is based on the thickness of Mad Magazine #26, equal to 2.2633484517438173216473 mm. See the Wikipedia entry for 'potrzebie' for more information, or search for suitable images.

It is already there for a while, as dk. /Mikael
