"How about converting those slugs to Newtons for us?"

No, I don't think I shall. But I might convert them to grams, and convert pounds to Newtons.

Feh. The Unix 'units' command wants to treat pounds as mass instead of weight. :-P Fortunately I can force it to behave.

[1] saltmine 50 > units
you have: slug
you want: kg
        * 1.459390e+01
        / 6.852177e-02
you have: lb-force
you want: newton
        * 4.448222e+00
        / 2.248089e-01
you have: ^D

"Or turn the slugs into Escargot D'Glenn"

Bleah. Even when I ate meat, I did not consume anything from phylum Mollusca.

"Hmmm, vapor units.......maybe we could relate that as a measure of fibro-fog!"

State level of alertness / mental "presence" as a partial-pressure?

"PS Not *FIG* Newtons!"

Helluva lot better than escargots!

(Is a fig Newton the force required to accelerate a fig at one meter per second per second?)
"Oh, no! You've started me on a Silly Day!"

Can we plot that on an o-sillyscope?

*Snerk*
Well, you know I don't eat Mollusca either. Nor Crustacea, nor Cephlopoda......you have to love the kashruth rules :-) But I do prepare all that stuff for others.

*Works for me!*

The problem with the edible Newtons is my fingers' reaction to the wheat. Otherwise, I'd much rather eat them than any shelly-thing!

Wiggling all over the O-Silly-scope! Thanks!!

Yes, I've seen this site.
L-edMAO.
Those who espouse the belief in the "literal-word-of-God" bible and adherence to it kill me. They don't follow any of the admittedly-massive number of rules except for the ones that meet their pre-set agenda. 'sigh'

I had fibroid trouble this week and a woman attributed it (and the bad behavior of the ex) to Satan. Mentioning the Bat Mitzvah shut her up quick. She's the one who sent out the district-wide email exhorting all employees to see The Passion.....

Massive number? 613 by some authority, although there seems to be some disagreement on the exact contents of those 613 items.

1. "O-sillyscope"... ... aaa... aaa.. AAAGH!

2. The Western society ignores a nubmer of valuable sources of protein and other nutirents.
