Cubit • \CUE-bit\ • Noun - Any of various ancient units of length based on the length of the forearm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger & usually equal to about 18 inches (46 centimeters).
“You idiot,” thundered the voice of God through the foothills of Mount Ararat. The admonition was uncharacteristic for the Creator, who had always favored the lesser-known Bennie, the older brother of Noah, the “boat builder.” “When I said cubits, I MEANT adult cubits,” thundered the Most High. “Using your infant child to make the measurements makes this thing more of a dinghy, only capable of holding perhaps twenty animals; two-by-two.”
“Where’s that lazy brother of yours?”
