There are 5 meters in one Iambic pentameter, so one meter is 0.2 of those.
Gas meter or water meter?
Depends on the meter, dude. There are thermo-meters, speedo-meters, baro-meter...
You win.
One universe across, depending on your frame of reference
Only weird answers?
The truth itself is weird: The meter is defined as the distance that light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds.
Powers of ten my ass
The problem is that the meter is originally defined in terms of the size of the earth, which is in no way related to the speed of light.
