It surprised me that a "mid-sized car" weighs 1622 kg. There is a sign in one of our local car-parks that restricts vehicles using the car park to those under 1.5 tonnes!

What was interesting was the fact that the medically-related figures were given to ridiculous levels of precision in both metric and USC. I would have assumed that organ weights, etc. would have been pretty even in kilograms. Looks like I have too much time on my hands as well, eh? :) Remek On 6/9/07, Jim Elwell <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: I guess this is just for fun; seems to me someone has too much time on their hands: http://www.weirdconverter.com/ -- ********************** Jim Elwell [EMAIL PROTECTED] 801-466-8770 www.qsicorp.com
