Today

Just to confuse you even further, take a look at this List of unusual units of measurement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[Barman58]

Regarding your metric system...I can't understand your mesurements either

1 inch is 2.54 cm which begs the question of why the cm measure up to an inch in a very odd measurement (2.54 is very strange)

It all comes down to the region and we learn in very odd ways. Should there be a global system for this? Yes!

Zid,

there is a universal world system for measurements - it called the metric system, ans it does make perfect logical sense - think I need a Pint

Thanks Dwarf. That actually solved the puzzle (besides being very interesting):
1 attoparsec/microfortnight is nearly 1 inch/second. therefore

1 inch = 1 attoparsec second / microfortnight

that is where it comes from!

 

[Tews]

Have one for me while your at it...or a good single malt!!

Congratulations Joan!

 

[Joan Archer]

Thanks again all of you don't think I'll manage another 33 years though, I'll not live long enough for that mind you it would have been 46 years if I'd still been with the first one :shock:

 

[wallyinnc]

From your jovial personality, you are about 35 to me. So that should be piece of cake!

 

[Joan Archer]

Thank you Wally I wish :roflmao:

Another year of marital bliss.

Spent last 2 days in Austin at corporate in a corporate culture transformation course.

Right back 2morrow for co xmas party.

edit--how come this (posting on the "Today" section) almost feels like Twitter? Only difference is our intelligence factor is exponentially higher.

Congratulations on your wedding anniversary Joan <3

I hope my new husband and I make it that long

I don't know... Doctor Karl is on Twitter and he's pretty intelligent.

and on the flipside, I'm on here and not on twitter so.... hmm, I think I just blew that theory out of the water

Today i went to centrelink to tell them i'm not studying next year

And I suppose they said, "well we aren't going to give you any money now"
why are you not studying?

I gave up studying 3/4 of the way through my degree and now at 30, I'm back at uni studying a different discipline. Wish I knew what I wanted to be when I grow up... Before I grew up

 

[Uber Philf]

I'm not studying because i lack the motivation to do assignments, i do the work just not homework.

I feel sullied by the implication, but placated by the rationale

Wish I knew what I wanted to be when I grow up... Before I grew up

lol, ditto. I request a do-over

 

[PC WhizzKid]

The tech came today and had a look at my PC and it has gone back to their workshop to be fixed. It is either the power supply or the motherboard.

It might be back with me early next week, if there is not a back log.

What are you talking about, my dad is 51 and he still says I wish I knew what I wanted to do when I grow up..
Thus you are never to old to do something you want to do.
