Unit conversions, metric vs imperial, and a few laughs
Hey all,
Isn't it FUN when your fertilizer bottles say "Add 30mL per gallon"? Yeah... nothing like mixing metric and imperial to make your head hurt.
So I put together some links- both useful and silly.
There's a couple conversion calculators, and, well... some other stuff too. heh heh.
If we are forced to endure an archaic an illogical system of measurement, we should at least get a laugh out of it, right?

This high-school-auditorium performance by Deirdre Flint is HYSTERICAL. Her delivery is SO deadpan. My mom found me this link.

Creed sucks. Even with the lyrics changed, they STILL suck. So how's about your 9th grade science teacher puts on a wig and invites his buddy from college (who currently lives on the sofa since his mom kicked him out last month) to help him perform his OWN version?
OW my poor virgin ears.

Google has a great conversion calculator. simple type what you want in a goggle search box.
like "1 ounce to grams"
or "1 cup to ml"
or "299792458 m/s to mph "
etc..
BTW thanks for all the advice. The Agway manure and humus certainly does the trick.
