This is my new favorite wikipedia site: List of strange units of measurement
For example:
Beauty: The Helen
The amount of beauty that can launch one thousand ships. Usually used as the millihelen, the amount of beauty that can launch one ship.
Named after the fictional Helen of Troy, from the Iliad. Inspired by Marlowe's line from the play The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus, "Was this the face that launched a thousand ships...?".
Negative values have also been observed-these, of course, are measured by the number of ships sunk or the number of clocks stopped.
Microhelens are, as one-tenth of the beauty required to motivate one sailor, sometimes given as the units for the common rating-out-of-ten scale of beauty.
