GASUC: The George And Steve Useless Constant -------------------------------------------- My rather brilliant friend (he is much much smarter than I am) George Wright and I computed this in Mr. Bouchier's Physics class in 11th grade. It converts meters/second into furlongs/fortnight: GASUC = 6012.8847531 I.e. 1 m/s is approx. 6013 furlongs/fortnight Now you know.
