Conversion Chart
Got a calendar in the mail from some real estate chick, that had a bunch of other info on the backs of the months. I thought this one might be useful to somebody.

That's really cool, Sky.
And informative, even for someone who grew up mostly with metric! I'm bi-lingual - I know height in feet & inches, weight in stones and pounds and distance in miles. But I know small measurements in metres & centimetres, temperature in celcius and liquid in litres & millilitres. Oh, except pints (Imperial, not the same as your pints) Hang on, that's not bilingual, that's just fucked up. Oh and soda cans are 330ml, not 350ml [/anal] Beer cans on the Continent are also 330, but in the UK are 500!

How does 3L get to be a two-liter bottle?

Either a liter's worth of thirst, or inattention.

Thanks SG. I liked it too. Good visual markers.
The author said it was a 'reference' point. Visual references and joke references not scientific obviously. Who has clocked a raptor on a hoverboard? I know how big a field mouse is but I doubt anyone squeezed the blood out of one to find out. Most people are smart enough to know a 2 liter bottle is just shy of 1 liter so I know 3 liters is a little larger than a 2 liter bottle. |

Come on, classic, obviously it's not scientific.
