There is an exact unit of volume called the butt……..

See Webster’s dictionary:
Butt: a measure of liquid capacity equal to 126 gallons or two hogs heads………..

From another dictionary:………….

An English butt is 2 hogshead of 54 imperial gallons each or ~129.7 US gallons (i.e., a UK butt is apparently slightly bigger than a US one)………..

A Spanish butt is based on a wine cask and is equivalent to 140 US gallons or ~116.6 UK gallons (i.e., a Spanish butt is bigger still)………

So next time someone says they have a “butt load” of stuff, just remember, that is about two 55-gallon barrels worth of stuff………..StR…Please use the word buttload in a sentence….OK…Local Vinters of Napa and Suisun Valley, please send me a free buttload of your best Vino…..Thanks

Yes, Jack, I was waaaaaaaay conservative on my estimates, just to make it sound so utterly possible… which it IS! Concerning you other comment, perhaps we ARE twins! Or maybe just dopplegangers. Clones? Dunno. You sound highly intelligent though. And your name kind of sounds like… uh… well, I won’t go there… not right now anyway…

I agree, CD, but can you also imagine that maybe in 100 years or so, we’ll all have our own space vehicles (ala Jetsons) and once we’re done trashing this planet, we can all go to another planet and start trashing it! Pretty cool, huh?

If the newly discovered planet is uninhabitable, hostile, rude, disgusting and full of unintelligent lower forms of life then I suggest it be named "California''. Otherwise, it should be named ''America''.

If for just one second, you could imagine the extraordinary cost over-runs, inevitable delays and probable casualties to develop such a planet, you’d recognize the “super power” it would take to become reality! Just sayin…

Dear C.W. Plunkett,

Are you me? This is exactly the run-down I give to folks who shun the entire “life on other planets” discussion – almost word for word.

Now, I must say that you are being a bit conservative regarding the number of stars that might have one or more planets. Already we’re discovering buttloads of planets around many suns, but I digress…

We should name the new planet: Sitys (pronounced: sit-ee-yus). Which is an acronym for” See, I Told You So
