If You can Measure It...

Recently I was looking into doing a number of conversions between different units of measurements. This was when I stumbled upon the web site "How Many? - A Dictionary of Units of Measurements".

The site contains the usual known units of measurements - and how to convert between them - but it also contains a lot of other exciting information such as the Glasgow coma scale, Hat sizes, and Shotgun gauges.

Furthermore, I found a consolidated list of ISO country codes along with the corresponding IANA, IOC, and ITU country codes, which may come in handy some day.

Finally, there is a very interesting section on the English Customary Weights and Measures that explains some of the more exotic names for weights and measures (and their origin) used in England.
