So, like, a gigaraffe is 1,024 megaraffes?

Yes, but it takes 1000 milligiraffes to make a whole one. We don’t make this easy.

This reminded me of an old engineering joke.

A candidate is being interviewed for a job in a light engineering firm.

Interviewer, “Why did you leave your last job?”
Candidate, “I was sacked for being 5 thou’ out.”
Interviewer, “5 thou’? Where were you working that they’d sack you for being 5 thou’ out?”
Candidate, “A bank.”
