    Hi Folks,

    Someone recently told me that the term used to measure human technological advancement is a Jesus. I cant find anything to support this dispite my Google skills. Has anyone else heard of this?

    I think it's actually a unit of holiness.

    Seriously though, I imagine, if it was indeed used in the above context, it was more than likely as a clever conceit in a sermon or some such.

    Jesus measure
    • Psychological measurement slang (quantitative): Based on a leap of faith not supported by the data.
    • Laws of physics ("Unencylopedia" source): Measure of copulation while simultaneously falling from a 4-story building.
    • Slayer slang: You can google this one.
