Measuring West Virginia Style

Ethan was having "Tummy Time" when Chris (who served his mission in West Virginia) had the crazy idea of showing just how big -or little- Ethan really is. His torso is 1 DVD long, his whole body is 2 DVDs long, and his width is 1 DVD case wide. It makes me wonder how people measured things before we had the standard or metric systems. What would they compare things to that was the same for everyone? Cooking pots, barrels, plows, saddles. Hmm?

So does that mean that if you were a two cow wife, that you were as big as two cows?
