        I bet you someone snuck in one night, ran around with it like an idiot ("I've got the kilogram! I've got the kilogram! Waaa!) dropped it, picked it up, saw the scratches, used some 1000 grit sandpaper and some brasso to clean it up, and, after wiping off the fingerprints, snuck it back in its case. 50 micrograms easy.

        cheers, Chris Maunder

            I was thinking more along the lines of a global conspiracy...by companies that sell "by weight" products...or maybe even the Post Office...put a stamp on the envelope causes it to be bumped up to the next increment requiring another stamp...hmmmmmmmm :~ Steve

              So - I can stick to the kilogram diet and lose weight this way.

                      Actually, no. (If the prototype loses weight, you get get more kilos)

                              You know, it's as heavy as before, only larger in volume, i.e., less dense. :doh:

                                  They say 50 Micrograms is the weight of a fingerprint. I suggest they give the kilogram a good wash as well as their measuring equipment.

                                        or cause wary waistline-watchers to re-examine their weights: 50 micrograms is roughly equivalent to the weight of a fingerprint. New diet patent - eat sandwich with gloves on. Guaranteed minimum 500 microgram weight loss per day per sandwich (400 if you eat with pinkies raised.)

                                          You've got it all wrong. It's not about weight loss, it's about slime! Sounds vaguely (perhaps blatantly) political.
