So why is the siemens marked as 'no longer in use'? The SI website at BIPM (http://www.bipm.org/en/si ) doesn't mention any of this. Please explain.

Can I add milliHelen (after Helen of Troy) ? It throws up 689 Google hits :) . Turns up in regular dictionaries too. Jay 13:07, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)

it's already listed (as of 2009) in List of humorous units of measurement. Bennylin (talk) 10:01, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
