...a horse's body parts... "...The US Standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet 8.5 inches. ... So, the next time you are handed a specification and wonder what horse's ass came up with it, you may be exactly right. Because the Imperial Roman chariots were made to be just wide enough to accommodate the back ends of two war horses...." That seems awful skinny for two horses. Are you sure that the standard isn't based on one-horse chariots? My minivan has (just checked on the web) a 64" wheel-spacing, and I still sometimes bump elbows with the wife. Dick
