Humans like measurements. They like measuring land, the weight of gold, their penis, their breasts, their wealth, their age, their skills, their whole life. That's just back in the day. We have now measured the size of an atom, the universe, their facebook likes. That's not enough, is it? Let us move to the reality of humans. We measure our everything and compare it with dogs and dolphins.
