Hi

The video itself works fine from either site but the original site (without special character set(s)) showed question marks in the You tube ads around the periphery of the web page on my computer.

I didn't get any question marks. I got hiragana and kanji (i.e., Japanese characters). As the video was in English, though, I didn't have a problem with it. Bill

    Hi:

    I think the video should be watched at this site:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Omh8Ito-05M

    I believe the other one is intended for a foreign language users
    and displays lots of question marks that may be confusing.

    That is a good video.  Our politicians should be required to watch
    it 10 times.

    Dear All,

    Why do people do this --- http://www.eppo.go.th/ref/UNIT-OIL.html
    --- to themselves?

    The relevant and only SI units needed are:

    mass measured in kilograms
    volume measured in cubic metres and
    energy measured in joules

    All the rest is simply pointless time and money wasting
    activities. This is where a lot of that trillion dollars a year
    goes in the USA each year
    (See: http://www.metricationmatters.com/docs/CostOfNonMetrication.pdf
    )

    Remember this 2.5 minute video. It is an absolute gem --- please
    spread it widely.
