If only they used the American measuring system.:-D

I though that a kilo is the weight of 1 lt of water, aka 3.03 cans of coke. :rolleyes: Or was it defined the other way around? :confused: Anyway, all units has been redifined relatively to light waves lengths or plank' number. The unquestionable constants of nature, which someone yesterday says that it's not really constant. :cool: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Memory leaks is the price we pay \0 01234567890123456789012345678901234

Perhaps the mass of the cylinder is not decreasing then. Maybe it's the gravitational pull of the earth that's decreasing. Maybe we'll all float off to space sometime, and the moon will go careering across the solar system, taking out Mars in the process and ending once-and-for-all any speculation about whether life exists there. :) Or maybe I've been having too much medication :~ Ryan Being little and getting pushed around by big guys all my life I guess I compensate by pushing electrons and holes around.

Ah that's it!! The US Saddam The Axis de jour is digging huge tunnels under Paris, to make the town collapse on demand. Where do they move all the stuff? Might be the reason why my scales tell me I scored a few bonus pounds over the holidays :cool:

I thought it was the English measuring system. However, only America still uses it exclusively. --
