Hmm, just having a look through the footrule, and there are loads of units mentioned therein that should theoretically exist, which the site says do exist, but which do not actually seem to exist. Anyone have any data on this. Some of the units are the:
Ouncedal (=oz*ft/s/s) [obviously a part of a foot-ounce-second system]
Duty = 1 ft-lbf
mid = 1/24 inch

Steve, erm, seriously.. May 5 2004, 4:18 PM

It is clear that you had a few drinks before posting your question , hence the mix up of postname and subject.
Then I used the time honoured old joke of us "working types" funding your booze (you being a "student type") via our taxes.
I've had a heavy afternoon - I apologise for the poor "joke".
And I've just learned that I'm working this friday.
At 10pm
Which is not good

Bye bye, 5 litres of cider... ;-)
SteveH Re: Untitled May 6 2004, 12:43 PM
Even I won't try and drink almost 10 pints of cider!
SteveH Re: Untitled May 6 2004, 12:44 PM
oh, and stop remembering everything about me!
It's scary!
Conrad Re: Untitled May 6 2004, 5:44 PM
You're too candid with us, Steveh... ;-)
