Smoot
The 2006 Nobel Prize for Physics has been won by John C Mather and George F Smoot for their work on measuring the cosmic microwave background. It's clearly a major honour, but I bet the question they're asked most today is 'are you the guy who was rolled over Harvard Bridge?'
Incidentally, Google's built-in calculator understands smoots.
Hello!
Hey, thanks for coming! I'm Andrew, and this is where my headthinks come to breed. They often meander around humanism and photography, but they're flighty and you can't trust them, so anything is possible.
Do feel free to email me - I get lonely:
Your hair looks swish, by the way - have you done something new?

I am a veritable font
I think I heard about it when somebody discovered Google’s calculator support. Smoots are also a unit option on Google Earth’s ruler.
