Reading a paper about the invention of measurement standards in the 19th century and a lot of it takes place at the "Cavendish" lab and I keep getting distracted thinking about the standardizing of bananas instead

Who could have foreseen that banana guy also worked on standards in physics!!

@ingrid wondering now if there is a standard for radiation given off by one banana

@ingrid I’ve certainly never seen them photographed together
