Despite being in exactly the same profession, having been around at exactly the same time and both being British, Level 42 lead singer Mark King has never met Scritti Politti lead singer Green Gartside.

There is a unit of measurement called a helen.
The helen is used to measure quantities of beauty in terms of the theoretical action that could be accomplished by the wielder of such beauty.
It is named after Helen of Troy.

Ten helena (Ha) is the beauty sufficient for one oarsman (of which 50 are on a ship) to risk his life, or to be the most beautiful of a thousand women. Since the unit is logarithmic on a base of 2, for beauty to increase by 1 Ha, a woman must be the most beautiful of twice as many women, so one helen is equivalent to 25.6 Ha. The most beautiful woman who ever lived would score 34.2 Ha, the equivalent of 1.34 helen, the pick of a dozen women would be 3.6 Ha, or 0.14 helen.

Similarly the millihelen is the amount of beauty sufficient to launch one ship.

Robert Smith of The Cure and his wife of 33 years have no children. Smith said he was against having children as he not only objects to having been born but refuses to impose life on another. He also "does not feel responsible enough to bring a child into the world".
But Smith and his wife have 25 nephews and nieces.
