    Well…a foot is a measurement so it makes sense to use other body parts, right?

    Length is two feet, three dicks and a pussy. Anyone could measure that way and it would be a world standard.

      Old Slavic customary measurements had “foot”, but also “palm” and “elbow” (roughly forearm length), as well as some less obvious body part based measurements

        The Elle / Yard / Forearm is one of the oldest and most common ways of measurement

      It always irks me when people think using foot as measurement was invented in England when they were used all over the world since the beginning of time. And different countries had different sized standard feet
