MLT

Today in Fluid Mechanics I learned (well, relearned) the three primary dimensions. Those being Mass [M], Length [L], and Time [T]. So one can derive any other dimension from these. As an example, force, normally in newtons [N], but in primary dimensions and as written on the board as MLT^-1 (where that's actually in superscript and very small). The first thing that popped into my head, as should with you, was Miracle Max from The Princess Bride. And I quote, "True love is the greatest thing in the world. Except for a nice MLT... mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich where the mutton is nice and lean, and the tomato is ripe....they're so perky. I love that".
