Helen - Unit of Beauty

If you are a liberal who may be easily offended by comments that are not politically correct do not scroll down to read this page!  If you can handle some strange humor go ahead and read.  I make no apologies for your reaction to this page.

The rather unofficial and politically incorrect unit of measure for the beauty of a woman.

This unit is based upon the fact that 1000 ships were launched to rescue the beautiful Helen of Troy.

If a woman looks as good as Helen of Troy did then her beauty rating would be 1.000 helen.

A woman cute enough to launch only 1 ship to get her back would have a beauty rating of 0.001 helen or what could be called 1.000 millihelen.

Not quite sure how a canoe or a rubber raft counts in this category.
