Chris mentioned anachronistic measures in his comments about the case of the Austrian woman who wants to be able to serve beer in litres. In that vein I just came across the following:
mutchkin -- a Scottish liquid measure of four gills. The old Scottish gallon contained eight pints, sixteen chopins, 32 mutchkins, or 128 gills. (Hmmmm...I wonder if the BWMA would support the return of the mutchkin, along with the gill and the chopin. Care to find out, Chris? ;-)
