For some reason I guess no one who played Starcraft ever played Diablo II, cause the sorcerer gets a move called "Nova", which is where I got the name in the first place...

I also used to get hit on when my name was "PhantasyStarIV" (cause I love that game to death...) ... so strange, these people and their assumptions.

Well it's a known fact that more American's are obese/overweight by percentage than Australians. Not by much though... It's also known that on average, an American will eat two take-out meals per day, where Aussie's average 1.

Actually, I'm closer to anorexic than fat... SJ Zero is actually stockier than me.

what is this in 'old money'

makes me laugh, we've been metric since about ten years before i was born, yet...

I am 5 foot 10, weigh about 10 and a half stone, was about 8lbs at birth, it's about 2 miles into town.

I want them to metric'ize time next... (i think its about 0.4 o'clock here)

No matter how much you all groan, decimal metric system is useful and more efficient than your ancient ways of counting body parts and lifting stones :lol:

yeah, i do agree, i can never remember how many ounces to a pound, and pounds to a stone. Its just funny how we've been metric for about 30 years, but in most areas people still use imperial measurements. (Except greengrocers who get prosecuted if they use imperial)

i dont think USA is even close to switching to metric (which sucks because when it comes to measuring quantities, i know the gallon and then im fricken lost...) but yet in science we all still use metrium so thats coool Smile

That's because you are accustomed to old measurements. It's the same when we switched from Pesetas to Euros five years ago. At first it was a nightmare, and nobody knew really how much money they were paying without doing calculations, but now it has changed, I think in Euros now.

The centesimal metric system is simply more simple :lol: at least to do calculations. You know that you always have to add or take away zeroes.

well the U.S. tried once... My mom was in 5th grade. Confused the heck out of everyone.



Plus if we did move to metric.. Think of all the road signs that will need changed! and then people will have to learn to drive in kmph instead of mph...
I mean weights shouldn't mess everything up to bad.. =p
