Some real-world news, Maesk has commissioned 20 'biggest ships in the world' capable of carrying 18,000 standard 20-foot containers each <http://tech.slashdot.org/story/14/10/20/010252/the-largest-ship-in-the-world-is-being-built-in-korea>

That's 42KdT of cargo alone ...

Apparently 'millions of bananas' is also a standard unit of measure. I wonder how many millions of bananas one cubic Rhode Island is :-P
