This sort of mistake is easy to make when you're mixing up your units; if they kept to one system of measure, it would've been trivial to catch, before or after release.

We need to standardize on using Earth circumferences as the unit of length. Or better, football fields! (the type of football of course being implied by the website's ccTLD)

We _have_ standardized on Earth circumferences for length, only we divide by 40 million to make the numbers more sane, and got the measurement slightly wrong!

If only there were some kind of international system of standard units.

Olympic swimming pools for liquids, times around the the earth for length and number of double decker busses for height.

I thought all measurements in data centers were in US football fields.

There are standard units, yes.
