What is the distance from your nose to your outstretched middle finger?
The distance from your nose to your outstretched middle finger is approximately one meter. Also, it is not only one half of your total armspan, but also one half of your total height, approximately. The metric system is a coherent system built on measuring fundamental properties of nature. For instance, the meter is 1/10,000 the distance from the equator to the poles, one liter is a cubic decimeter, and one calorie is the amount of energy to raise one gram of water one degree Celsius which is itself 1/100th of the temperature difference between the boiling and freezing points of water. The English system bases its measures on more prosaic things such as the distance from the nose to the end of the middle finger being 1 yard, the inch being the length of the last segment of the thumb the, foot being the length of a man's shoe and the mile being 1000 paces (mille pes).
