Chinese supercomputer named world's fastest

Sweet fanny adams (to be respectable)

in that violence is more respectable than sex?

In other words, three fifths of five eighths of sweet fanny adams.

Taking fractions of a unit named after a child who was cut into pieces by her
murderer?

Ironic.

Yeah, but they won't go into imperial holes. BTW, isn't Whitworth an
entirely separate standard from the "standard" imperial standard?

standard imperial UNC and UNF ?
BSW (whitworth) BSC (whitworth for cycles, obsolete)
BSP (UK plumbing, and AUS, NZ etc.. )
NPT (US plumbing)

I
seem to recall that Whitworth was not used much by the time my
brother's MGA was made. Looking at Wikipedia they say the thread for
mounting cameras to tripods is a Whitworth.

Is Whitworth still used much?

other than camera mounts I know of no new equipment that uses it.
