A cubit is a measurement based on the distance from one’s fingertips to the elbow... approximately 18”. Since this is somewhat variable, the ‘official cubit’ is somewhat open for interpretation and varied from culture to culture.

LOL!
So LOVED that album!
One of my favorite lines is from “High School Shop”, when a kid—after throwing a bullet into the furnace—says “TINK, TINK”.
Think of it every time I read FR posts that offer encouraging news about Durham’s investigation.
