I love the idea of using corgis as units of measurement.

Nice job leading by example. Can I buy myself a more modest sized windmill somewhere?

And I forgot to say, she should of course be Elizabeth Windsor privatre citizen of the Republic of Britain, the bloody parasite.

Queen of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Not Queen of England, although she is that too.

A bit like saying George W Bush President of Idaho, although true, it sort of misses the larger reality.

just in case anyone is confused by that last sentence

the turbine soars over Big Ben and roughly equals 111 Queen Elizabeths (the actual queen) plus one corgi

these are Imperial units of measurement as used officially in the UK.

5 corgis = 1 queen
500 queens = 1 big ben
128 big bens = 1 windsor

etc.

3,700 regular homes or Al Gore sized?
