It Made Me Smile

Let's hear some Happy news for once.

3rd March: When is a hobbit not a hobbit?

A hobbit isn’t just a small, hairy-footed creature from The Lord Of The Rings – it also used to be a unit of measurement in Wales.

A hobbit measured either volume or weight – how much a hobbit weighed depended on what it was made of, so a hobbit of wheat would weigh more than half as much again as a hobbit of oats. 

If your confused, dont worry, so am I :(
