  1. I recall a Poul Anderson passage, possibly in "The Avatar":

    "Tonight we are going to get boiled as an owl, and high as a kite."

    "I refer, of course, to the International Standard Owl after it has consumed 1 liter of 100 proof ethanol, and the International Standard Kite, flown in a 1 gravity field at STP."

    (Not an exact quote.)

    (STP = Standard Temperature and Pressure, a temperature of 273.15 K (0 °C, 32 °F) and an absolute pressure of exactly 1 atm (101.325 kPa).)
