The "milli-medusa" doesn't sound right as a measure of ugliness.
First, because classical literature does not (I think) claim that one
Medusa regularly affected a thousand of anything, and second, because
the Medusa is not exactly an image of ugliness.

I just use the "inverse milli-helen", which is STILL not a measure
of ugliness, but rather, a measure of what it takes to "stop one ship".
That may seem like a useless thing to measure, but if your company
is trying to release a software-intensive product to the market place,
you will occasionally be concerned about whether you have any bugs
that stop shipment ("stop ship").  The force of these bugs should
obviously be measured in inverse milli-helens.
