The mind-blowing revelation that one horse equals 15 horsepower is enough to make anyone question reality. The imperial measurement system strikes again with its nonsensical logic! Turns out James Watt, who coined "horsepower" in the 1780s, deliberately underestimated horse strength to make his steam engines seem more impressive. Talk about false advertising that stuck around for centuries! It's like finding out a foot isn't actually the length of someone's foot... wait, it isn't? *skeleton screaming intensifies*
