I just thought that the esteemed members of this community might be interested to know

that a 'milliHelen' is the amount of beauty required to launch one ship.

Main article: Helen (unit)

Helen of Troy (from the Iliad) is widely known as "the face that launched a thousand ships". Thus, 1 millihelen is the amount of beauty needed to launch a single ship. Other derived units such as the negative helen (the power to beach ships) have also been described.

 

Interesting - another snippet of knowledge gained.

So a centipede is 1 year of the total time Jimmy Savile should have spent in jail?
