    The SI standard, set in 1969 in a raucous meeting in January in Miami, set the following standard:

    1 Patriarchy = 1 Super Bowl.

    The officials standard act sets the patriarchy as equivalent in power to Santa Clause (1 S.C.). The tooth fairly, equates to half a Santa or 0.5 S.C. The eater bunny equals 0.4 S.C.

    So in the scheme of mythological power status, the patriarchy is up there.

    There are of course members of the federal reserve mythological equivalentcy branch who argue that people have lost faith in the patriarchy compared to Santa and therefore the exchange rate should be changed so that the patriarchy equals 0.8 Santa Claus units, not 1 to 1.

    Add: The federal reserve mythology equivalency branch strongly rejects the Super Bowl standard endorsed by others on the grounds that it is irrational to fix a measurement of mythological entity such as the patriarchy to a very real event such as the super bowl

    As much as I appreciate Sam's arguments, I have to disagree on this point. Mythological entities such as patriarchies must be fixed in relation to other mythologies such as Santa, not real life events such as the Super Bowl.
