He's 6 feet tall if he's an inch

When ever I need to measure a space . . . whether it be the garden or a room . . . I call on my husband.  Not because he's the sole proprietor of the tools in our home . . . although he'd like to think so.  It's because his tooties are exactly twelve inches long.


Believe it or not, a foot is called a foot because it is about the same size of the foot of an average grown adult man.  

However, whenever I need to figure out the length of something smaller I do not call on my pet inchworm.  Why?  Because not all inchworms . . . not even the average sized ones . . . are an inch long.  Inchworms are called inchworms because they inch along.  

The word 'inch' comes from Latin uncia meaning "one twelfth part" . . . an inch is 1/12 of a foot which is 12 inches . . . duh.


Just a bit of trivia based one my perfectly proportionally footed husband's suggestion.
