<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bernhard,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And, that is supposed to mean something =
to me?!!!!!
No matter how you slice it, IT DOESN'T!~ I wouldn't know a meter from a
matzaball!<G></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I drive a Mercedes and it has a =
thermometer to show
the outside temperature. I'm really tempted to put some electicians tape =
over
the damned thing, because it don't tell me zip! I also have a Chevy =
Suburban,
that has a 350 c.i. motor. If you told me it was xxx cc's I wouldn't =
know what
you were talking about in terms of displacement! I buy gallons of milk, =
not
liters! Even when the whole damned world is in metric, it won't make a =
lick of
sense to me. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Even tho I worked in the Medical Field =
for several
years, it didn't make sense then either. Don't know what to tell you. I =
don't
get it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And while I'm on this tangent: the Name =
for Cycles
Per Second, i.e. Hertz, is the stupidest damned thing concocted by the
brainiacs, IMO!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A 2x4 is actually 1 5/8" x 3 5/8". This =
I know. Why
it got trimmed down is a whole nuther topic. It's still called a 2x4 on =
the job
site! Of course, when all the damned trees are gone and construction =
will be
completely out of metal or recycled beer cans, then we won't need the =
term 2x4!
Get it?</DIV></FONT>
