What an article!

 

One extract said "When given a choice, he said many men prefer condoms
smaller than the standard minimum 6.3 inches long, with more than half
ordering those less than 5.12 inches" - 6.3 inches is 16.0 cm and 5.12
inches is 13.0 cm.  Regarding the condom holding 18 L of air - what would
the pressure of the air be?

This AP article on a condom safety conference has to be a new low in stupid
measurement.  Imagine writing that a proper condom is supposed to hold 4.76
"gallons" [18 L] of air!  No one--no one!-- measures air in gallons.

case and I'll try again.
