Coulda been worse! There's this planet out past Saturn, you see...which would have been perfect for the origin of the measure of 'Horsepower' and where they, err, pulled it :-)

What about the amazing slinch? The slug-inch? The blob? (I promise, I'm not making any of these up. I wish I was, but they're all physics terms.)

As a boat nerd, I appreciate the "Venus" names as "Mercury"

Okay, that's officially one of the most @#$%ed up things I've seen in a while.

Oh poor Willow 😢
Horsepower = what a horse can maintain over time.

Poor Willow But for realsies, if they're pushing themselves to their limit in one short task, horses can do up to 15 HP.

I look forward to the day you explain why torque is measured in pound-feet. (I almost said "foot-pounds", but I think it's supposed to be the other way. LOL)

Pretty sure everyone's gonna look it up...
One horsepower is equal to 15 zoomdogs
Is... Is this actually how it was named?
So a full doggopower is 1/15 horsepower?

I choose to believe this is 100% historically accurate.
Willow is trying her best!
