The Dumbing Down of America proceeds apace. They don't even know the system
they claim is familiar to them. Maybe we need a scale that weighs in vulgar
fractions, like the old stock market figures.

A few days ago, I bought a food scale so I can more closely monitor the size of my
meals to maintain my 70 kg (grin) of mass. It has a WOMBAT/metric switch on it, and
