Look closer at the 100 "miillimeters". It should be milliLITRES, not
milliMETRES. The long way to go is to make people aware of the different
units and what they are used for, such as litres for volume and metres for
distance.

Keiner ist hoffnungsloser versklavt als derjenige, der irrt�mlich glaubt
frei zu sein.
There are none more hopelessly enslaved then those who falsely believe they
are free!
