potrzebie

The name of a spoof system of weights and measures once described in Mad magazine. Also the name of one of the units. The article was written by Donald Knuth. Yes, this is apparently the same Donald Knuth who went on to develop the TEX typesetting system and write the multivolume opus "The Art of Computer Programming".
