    And a British Standard Finger - used for checking ventilation holes to ensure nothing nasty can be touched from the outside. (I only know this because I once built a prototype mains powered device out of cardboard for demonstration on a customer site and we had to be sure the ventilation slots it needed were safe. Well, safe as mains equipment in a cardboard box could ever be...)

      You might be comforted to know that, back when I worked in the industry and had access to the index and library, the US DoD had a MIL-SPEC for sheep. I don't recall the number, and doubt that it still exists, but the entire office got a good laugh about it when I pulled a copy for us to 'review' for relevance to our current project (designing ICBM ATE). Other ruminants were included in the same spec, IIRC.
