^ "1 quart is 1/252nd of a hogs head"
NO! 1/250 = one quarter.
Not 1/252 (you need to drop the .002)
.002 hog heads = 1 mil hogs head
It's just enough to through everything off.

I've just discovered one of those amazing random facts.
1 mph = 0.977777778 cubits per second
See, the whole imperial system is based on sensible basics with an easy ability to quickly flip between different units.
Also, apparently a British hogshead holds more liters than an American one does.
There is clearly no rational explanation for that, other than the fact that a US gallon is smaller than everyone else's gallon as well.
Maybe their inch is smaller than everyone else's too? That would explain a lot of things.
