Wow;
 You had me at "Ale Gallon"

Todd :-)


Originally (in 1819), the Imperial gallon was meant to be the volume
occupied by 10 pounds of water at 62°F.  It's intermediate in value between
the two British units it replaced in 1824, namely the corn gallon of 272¼
cubic inches (4461.378174 ml) and the ale gallon of 282 cubic inches
(4621.152048 ml).  The old British wine gallon of 231 cu in survives as the
US gallon (see above)
