| Thing | How Many It Takes To Have A “Hundred” Of That Thing |

| Bowstaves, oars, and staves for hogsheads, as well as other certain types of pieces of wood | 120 |
| Canvas and linen cloth | 120 |
| Cod, Ling (which turns out to be cod), and Haberdine (which is also cod) | 124 |
| Dried fish that’s somehow not just cod? | 160 |
| Drinking glasses | 100, mercifully |
| Eggs | 120 |
| Fish, not excluding herring | 120 |
| Onions, Garlic | 225 |
| Pins, Nails | 120 |
| Sheep or lambs, in Roxburghshire and Selkirkshire | 106 |
Reference: http://www.sizes.com/units/hundred.htm, from the Index to Units and Systems of Units page, which is just absorbing every minute of my time anymore because there’s things like a “stathmos” that’s equal to “about five parasangs”, which clears up things if you’re in Ancient Greece and taking units from the Persians when they aren’t looking.

Yeah, isn’t that the best? I could avoid all kinds of work for weeks just from this alone.
