    Since stiffness is generally recognised as the product of the member's young's modulus (pascal or N/m^2) and its second moment of inertia (m^4) one may postulate that the resulting SI unit is Nm^2 (newton square metres) but that's a mouthful so I agree, let's just stick with "a bunch"

    I am afraid you are mistaken Mr Brunning. It is a well know fact that the (ctrl-i) Système international (ctrl-i) unit of measurement of 'Bunch' is the collective term for some Bradys (ie. 6 or 8 Bradys depending on your point of view)
    As for adding a bunch of stiffness, Marcia Brady immediately comes to mind

You have to use the whole course in mind, as long as those clods around you aren't getting underfoot. *_;-D_*
