I have a 10-20th hand copy of a couple pages from Mad featuring the "Potrzebie
System of Weights and Measures", which came from a Don Knuth of Milwaukee (who
is described as also having two heads...).  I guessed it was DEK (the contents
had a familiar "look and feel" :-) ), but no verification, and the pages had
no date; can anyone supply a date and maybe other details?
