Bumped my scale!

I chucked my printer at the wall does that count?

Up In Smoke 420 Reviewed by Up In Smoke 420 on 05-16-2005. Bumped my scale! Hey, I bumped my scale today and now it doesn't measure right! My Scale My scale isn't expensive or anything (bought it at my local headshop for $40 Canadian taxes in) but I'd rather not have to buy another. So what I'm asking is when you bump your scale and it throws the readings off, is it fixable? Will simply recalobrating the scale set everything back to normal? I'm asking because I don't have a 100g weight to recalobrate it and I'd rather not have to buy one but if it'll fix it then Rating: 5

yes, yes that does count

one time i was nodding out real hard on methadones and on one of the nods i hit my head on the keyboard..and my head probably touched the spacebar..does that count?

how much would you say a cheap accurate scale would be canadian at a head shop

A nickle is not exactly 5 g's it's about 4.7

A nickle is not exactly 5 g's it's about 4.7

Is there anything else around the house that is exactly a certain weight that I could use, or use of a number of them to calibrate my scale??

Well I tried using coins with not much luck.
I tried using 21 nickels (to calibrate it to 100 grams) which is about 98.7g if a nickle is said to be 4.7g's
Anyway, this calibration failed, so I tried using 20 nickels and 2 dimes, just to up the weight a bit hoping to get it closer to 100g's and pass the calibration test. This also failed. So apparantly I need exactly, or amazingly close to 100g's of weight to calibrate.
Does anybody know any combination of coins to hit 100g's exactly?? :P

well go get new nickels then...probably some of the nickels you were using have been worn down and their weight has been compromised because of it....
