Unit Definition (pie [Spanish])
The pie is a traditional foot of Spain. The pie equals 1/3 vara or 12 pulgadas. The pie used in Spain is about 27.86 centimeters or 10.97 inches, but in Spanish Latin America the pie is generally longer.

Unit Definition (gnat's eye)
The gnat's eye is an idiomatic "unit" of distance; it's common to hear that something is "as small as a gnat's eye". In fact, the eyes of typical gnats tend to have diameters similar in size to a hair's breadth: roughly 100-150 micrometers (0.10-0.15 millimeters).
