No, not like that.
For some reason I was thinking about scientific notation and the prefaces used.
This probably came from a discussion with a friend awhile back about how some Americans use tenths of feet rather than inches, and kilofeet. Having said that, we use hundreds of feet at work, we also use tens of metres, decametres, in a couple of measurements at work.
Specifically I was wondering which was bigger, 2 Gigainches or 1 nanoParsec.
Go on, work it out, the answer may surprise you. Extra points if you don't need to look up any conversion factors.
Now I need to go out and get a life.

dammit, i now have to go and google sensible units for a parsec.
i can get gigainches into somehting readily useable to the average person fairly easily, and i know that i know a conversion for a parsec, but can i remember it from three years ago?
can i heck!
thank you for making me think about interesting things again, but damn you for the frustration involved!
love you!
