Smoot
The smoot is a nonstandard unit of length created as part of an MIT fraternity prank. It is named after Oliver R. Smoot, a fraternity pledge to Lambda Chi Alpha, who in October 1958 lay on the Harvard Bridge, and was used by his fraternity brothers to measure the length of the bridge.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Smoot
