Dimensions in popular culture

No, not alternate realities, actual dimensions of things. A 2x4 is useful for hitting people with, and of course everyone should know the significance of 1x4x9. But surely there are others that I can't think of...

ETA: OK, there are lots of things which are kind of one dimensional. But how about things which are 2D or 3D like the examples above (or tim's example)?

The metaphorial ten-foot pole with which things will not be touched? Nine milimetre (& various other calibres)? Eight mile? A pint?
