I happened across this truly inspired piece of technical writing recently that coined a new easy-to-grasp unit:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/11/12/arizona_...

So 25.7 Gbit/sec = 1 kilowrist

Any suggestions for other porn or BDSM related units?

There is long standing unit of beauty; the Helen.

Since Helen (of Troy) had a face so beautiful she could launch a thousand ships; the milliHelen is defined as enough beauty to launch one ship.

Princess Ann thus rates about 0.5 mH

Thus Camilla would have to be rated in Pico Helens....

A woman tells her doctor, 'I've got a bad back.' The doctor says, 'It's old age.' The woman says, 'I want a second opinion.' The doctor says: 'Okay - you're ugly as well.'

She seems to get quite a lot of press on The Register web site. I guess she is a useful combination of a porn & IT past, along with being a useful yardstick of stupidity for measuring politicians plans, etc.

Personally I find here a bit bland and plastic looking, the sort of make-up look favoured by air stewardesses. Still, each to their own.
