From wikipedia:
The name furlong derives from the Old English words furh (furrow) and lang (long). Dating back at least to the ninth century, it originally referred to the length of the furrow in one acre of a ploughed open field (a medieval communal field which was divided into strips). The system of long furrows arose because turning a team of oxen pulling a heavy plough was difficult.I'm afraid your ignorance on history doesn't add any substance to the current discussion.
I’m sure that you know that your “question” was stupid and argumentative. Yes it was intended to be humor, moron.
