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.
Thanks Bruce. I love this sort of thing.
I think this may have been posted already.
It amuses me.
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.
p-shah
Obviously!:D It's so obious
wai - wha??
wai wha? I messed up....* really lol'ing*
Whatever. There's about 4 liters of blood in the human body. I need a volunteer to make it scientific.
Bonus Question: How many field mice are needed to save skysidhe?
s'OK. It's not Alzheimers, it's Halfheimers.
I've been looking for a place to put that joke all week.
Bonus Question: How many field mice are needed to save skysidhe?
7, six for horses, one for the coachman, and of course a pumpkin.
It's s'ok ;)
Actually, acronyms like "OK" and "TV" are properly abbreviated as capital letters. I think that would carry through to cutesy apostrophic variations like "s'OK" too.
Just to be nitpicky, which is what I do best. ;)
wait, wait..... what is that apostrophe doing there any way?
's OK ...no?
and Alzheimer's?
grief, people....... :p
I would not want to violate the law of Internet Post Correction -- every time you correct someone, your post *has* to have at least one flaw of its own. ;)
Litre, metre, saltpetre.
But maybe not skeetre.
