	Rod (unit) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A rod is a unit of length, equal to 5.5 yards or 16.5 feet (5.0292 metres in SI units) or 11 cubits.
		One example of a surveyor's rod is a one piece metal bar encased in a cylindrical canvas tube (to keep the sun from heating it and making it increase in length) with a piece of the semiprecious gemstone jasper at each end of the rod (to prevent wear of the metal bar).
		The rod is still in use as a unit of measure in recreational canoeing.
	en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Pole_(length) (460 words)

	Units: R
		The size number is the diameter of the rod in 8ths of an inch (1/8 inch = 3.175 millimeters); thus a rod 1 inch in diameter is a #8 rebar.
		The rod and the furlong were the basic distance units used by the Anglo-Saxon residents of England before the Norman conquest of 1066.
		The relationship between the rod and the other English distance units was confirmed again by the Parliamentary statute of 1592, which defined the statute mile to be either 320 rods or 1760 yards, thus forcing the rod to equal exactly 5.5 yards or 16.5 feet.

	Boston.com / News / Boston Globe / Opinion / Op-ed / The Curse of A-Rod (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In 2001, when A-Rod packed for Texas, $252 million richer, the Mariners promptly tied a major-league record (set by the 1906 Cubs) with 116 wins and a.716 winning percentage.
		With A-Rod aboard and despite his 2003 MVP year, the Texas Rangers averaged only 72 wins (.444) for the next three seasons.
		If baseball had a salary cap, you could argue that A-Rod's huge paychecks drain money away from building the team, but that idea is laughable in Texas and especially in New York, where the Boss's lucre flows filthily to the good, the bad, and the ugly.

	Rod Hull & Emu
		Rod was a popular performer on comedy-variety shows, often in England, sometimes in Australia and occasionally on this continent.
		Rod Hull was born in England in 1936 but, in the sixties, he moved to Australia, which is where he broke into television.
		What rescued Rod from doing his act thereafter in the Tower of London — or wherever they send those who assail the Queen — was that she laughed.

	Questions & Answers: Rod
		The rod was one of an important set of measures that were subdivisions of the standard mile.
		Four rods equal one chain (22 yards—still the length of a British cricket pitch between the stumps), 40 rods make one furlong and 320 rods equal one mile.
		The name comes from the use of a rod as a measuring stick (quite a big one, you may agree...).

	Sol's Rod Sequences
		According to Escamilla, the "rods" in the pictures are cylindrical animals moving at incredibly high speed, "frozen" in the pictures by high-speed exposures.
		It is caused by the fact that each "rod" is simply a continuous blur captured in one field during the 1/60 exposure, and each gap is a section of that same continuous blur that was captured by the alternate field in the same frame, and which is not usually shown.
		Using the cliff as a reference, the "rod" appears to be falling like a bomb, slowly rotating downward as it falls, but after the "rod" turns (which is not shown) it would appear to rotate upward as it flew back toward the skydiver.
