This bridge is measured in Smoots
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
In 1958, a college fraternity decided to measure a bridge using their shortest pledge, Oliver Smoot, by repeatedly laying him end-to-end across the concrete. The bridge is exactly 364.4 Smoots long. The local police actually use these painted markings to identify accident locations today. It is proof that sheer boredom can eventually become official civic infrastructure.
One discovery leads to another.
