Fun fact about
„The whole nine yards“

Did you know that?

@Wyliesau There are a lot of different possible origins for the phrase but this is my favorite. :D Though I suspect that the idiom came first and the engineer designing the ammo belts made them that long because of the idiom and not the other way around. I can say with authority that engineers, without detailed specifications, will do such things whenever they have the chance.
