Hi,

better yet: when I was a child, the capacitance was also measured in
cm (found in old radio receivers) (approximately equal to 1 pF). Such way,
it was said, 1 F would equal to a ball with a diameter of 10 million
km. And now you can buy so-called gold-caps, like a knob, with a capacity
of 1 F.

Regards,
Imre
