I'd love to say that my comment was some commentary on the weirdness of the units, but really, it just stuck out to me, and I thought it'd be funny if I treated "gridiron football field" as the imperial system equivalent unit to the metric "basketball court" unit.

I rarely make comments on HN that are mostly just humorous and not actually intending to be on-topic... but every once a year or so.
