I thought these specs for a watch I just saw online were amusing:

Case Dimensions: 44mm x 12½mm 
Bracelet Dimensions: 8 1/8" x 22mm

I guess 3 out of 4 is not bad, but what the hell?  I have noticed that the mm 
has worked its way into public usage for very small distances, and even into 
general expressions like "missed it by a millimeter".  So maybe the bozo who 
posted these dimensions converted just the longest distance to inches.
