A proposal for a new SI unit of measure for kilt addiction.

Um, well, when I joined xmarksthescot on 21st December, 2005 I owned 3 kilts and currently I own 17. One of the original trio was passed on to a fellow xmarker as it no longer fitted me, so that means I've acquired 15 kilts in one year and one hundred and thirty five days, i.e. 15 kilts in 1.37 years. That equates to an average of 10.95 kilts per year, or an addiction factor of 1.155 Hamishes. Heck, never realised I was so addicted and at this rate I am gradually catching up with the great Hamish at the rate of around one and a half kilts a year.
I must stop buying kilts.
I must stop buying kilts.
I must stop buying kilts.
I must stop buying kilts.
I must stop buying kilts.

Indeed. One of the purposes of promulgating the unit is to allow easy comparative reference between the level of one's own addiction, and that of others. If your score is greater than 1, you could also calculate the point at which your collection will overhaul that of the great man himself.

Assuming that kiltwearers are immortal and that both your addictions remain constant over time, C152T, you will end up owning more kilts than Hamish some time in in the year 2045 - and you'll be purchasing your 434th kilt.
