7 cubits = 3.2m = 10.5ft
10.5ft = 10' 6"
10' 6" = 1.8806 Smoots
1.8806 " 1880.6 microsmoots. Approximately one kit without the kaboodle.
That would be millismoots, not microsmoots.
Yeah in metric but Edwin Schenedererer who came up with the system confused the two in his initial proposal and the convention stuck. It wasn't until years later when he published The theory of lesser Smoot that he corrected his mistake.
10' 6" = 0.0006 leagues
10.5ft = 0.0292 football fields
I'm American, I had to look this up 0.0292 football fields = 128 goldfish crackers
I am sorry can I get that in cheese burgers.
Why has no one demanded a banana for scale?
Goliath predates bananas. They have no validity as a measurement in this circumstance.
Bananas were apparently first cultivated 7000 years ago, so I'm afraid, based on Biblical chronology, that Goliath post-dates the banana (which predates the creation of the universe) and thus a banana for scale is a valid measurement for his height, as it is the standard reference for scale according to science I just made up.
Fucking bananas I bet they were responsible for the creation too. Never trusted those fuckers.
TIL that both football and Oliver Smoot's fraternity pledge predate bananas.
