Same with the caliper suggestion, when fractions of a millimetre make the difference between a "worn" chain and a good one, I wouldn't want to use a ruler. Especially not on the bike.
It's so easy to use a chain checker tool, I'm not sure why anyone would use rulers and calipers. Just make sure you use an accurate one, which is the point of the post.
