So naturally, a butt-tun would be 360 gallons......

Actually a tun is two butts (not making this up) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_wine_cask_units#butt

I think it's interesting that all the units are outdated now but the words still get used, in brewing we use a mash tun.

No, it's just an appendage to keep your clothes on.

Ancient Israelites had a measurement called an homer. It was the amount a donkey could carry, or a literal ass load.

Actually I do :) everything divisible by 10 / 1000.

Feet in yard = 3

Feet in fathom = 6

Feet in chain = 66

Feet in mile = 5280

That's much easier!

However, I'm not sure the precision is warranted in this case.
