Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Finnish_obsolete_units_of_measurement&oldid=587597457 (where we learn that a poronkusema (approximately 7.5 km) is a "Lappish measurement of distance; the distance a reindeer can travel before needing to stop to urinate. Today used to describe something that is at a very obscure distance away.")

Something like a pater noster while. Love it. I nominate ruzuzu to make Wordnik's finest reindeer list.
