The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms


Alright, The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms is not my movie. But it is a movie I saw last night.
I was wondering: What is a fathom? Well, a fathom, it seems, is 72 inches, or two yards.
20,000 times 2 = 40,000. The Beast From 40,000 yards???
It doesn't really make any sense. Especially when the "beast" is found in the North Pole, in an iceberg. Not exactly 40,000 yards deep below the surface. It is a little bit weird.
