   now that the rib count is getting up there, i was wondering if it might be expressed in pigs and ribs, much like feet and inches. but how many ribs are in a pig?

   “Pigs actually have between 13 and 17 pairs, although most have 14 or
   15 pairs. Asymmetry is not unusual”

   so maybe the pig has around 30 ribs, let’s say, making it possible to express the rib count as “two-pigs-twenty-two.” it’s catchy, no?

   A fine, very fine, idea. Thanks for the idea, I will use it!
