PF - I would have thought that US scientists would be using the SI units (eg kilogram, metre etc.)....if they aren't then they should be.

Tale is told of the millions USA spent developing a "space pen",

while the Russians just used crayons.

Spend enough money and you can re-invent a wheel.

It's still a wheel, just more expensive.

Legend,

A Mars probe was lost because some scientists were working

in SI and others in Imperial. Only cost about $800 Mill I Think,

about a trillion Aussie Pesos.

I have heard that old joke about "Americans have so many pounds of undigested red meat in their intestines" for years, AND IT ISN'T SO!
At the clinic I manage, our Doctors do colonoscopies all the time, and we have to do a "bowel prep" which means the patient takes nothing by mouth except for a liquid laxitive the night before the procedure. This cleans you out! Completely! And no one has lost more than a pound ir two, and most of it is water!

I know Americans eat too much red meat, but that is seen in heart disease and being overweight, not carrying around undigested meat in their tummies!


*Removing the nursing suit and cap... much more comfy this way!*

Go to the supermarket, pick up a 3kg (6.5lb) roast and picture

that in your innards.

Not so, I think, he chuckled....

The average human head weighs 8 pounds.
A pit bull terrier has 2000 pounds of pressure per square inch in their jaws.
In Japan, Akitas are used as babysitters. Helen Keller brought the first Akita to America.
You can make napalm by mixing gasoline and styrofoam.
A squirel fish looks nothing like a squirel.

Petrol, mothballs, topped up with lux flakes will give

you either get napalm or something harmless but smelly.

1)Washington's not one of those states! ;)
2)In most of the states that have Sodomy laws, 'Sodomy" includes oral sex as well as anal! :eek:

Regardless I do feel that the Sodomy laws are ridiculous!
