Re: Nutter magnet

"Would one unit be adequate for measuring such things? What are we measuring, the strength of the magnet, the number of nutters attracted, the nuttiness of the nutters using some form of weighted average?"

Having read Dabbsys columns for some years now, he does appear to attract more than his fair share of nutters. In light of this, I would nominate "The Dabbsy" as the unit of measurement for "Nutter Magnets".

I suspect it will most commonly be used in a similar way the the Farad, ie the base unit is too big for most everyday uses. 1 Dabbsy attracts large number of nutters whereas most of us rarely attract multiple nutters even over a long period of time so we'll most likely use milliDabbsy or even microDabbsy
