Answer:
The “official” unit to measure the length of the Harvard Bridge in Boston is the Smoot. 1 Smoot = Height of Oliver Smoot, who, measured the length of the Harvard bridge using his body as a fraternity pledge. The dude went on to become the chairman of ANSI, which makes it all the more funny that a non-standard unit of measurement is named after the head of a standards institution :)
