In my home country, there was a stunt where a person used a carrier pidgeon with a usb drive to race a local ISP transferring a file.

It got me thinking about strange units. Like how for example a car's mileage can be thought of as a surface area (distance per volume), or in this case how for every pidgeon speed, drive capacity and length there is an equivalent bandwidth capacity * (distance / (distance / time)).
