A "yard" is a cubic yard, 36" x 36" x 36".

A "yard" is a cubic yard, 36" x 36" x 36" = 9 wheelbarrows full.

Doesn't that assume a standard wheelbarrow? (And a standard fill?) I didn't
know there was a standard for either.

Yes there is... it's one of those idiot facts that I picked up many years
ago and has stuck with me! It has been a totally useless fact that I cannot
erase from my mind!

Suzanne S. Barnhill shared this with us in
microsoft.public.word.newusers:
A "yard" is a cubic yard, 36" x 36" x 36".

Damned be the Merkian measurements!
I suppose you also measure speed in attoparsecs per microfortnight?
;-)
 
It would be perverse (and imprecise) to express a "yard" in metric units.

Hi Terry,

I doubt if this sand measurement from a Northern Island
gardening services page will stick in the mind, but it's also an interesting
trivia one

Hi Terry,

I was planning on that, right after completing this task :)
