Because 31 OCT = 25 DEC. On 29/06/2023 at 03:15, Reorte said: I think that one qualifies for the nerdiest joke I know! The second-most one is: "There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't." You can get a lot more nerdier with this joke! It works because OCTober means Eighth month and DECemeber means Tenth month which leads to lots (and lots) of nerdy stuff about the changes in the calendar with March once being the first month of the year. Just be glad for this thread that Caesar Augustus wanted a month named after him so there is no month called Sexember! Rob 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bach said: The metric system is simple, it is the conversion from "feet" to "meters" that is complicated. But you're missing the point, you don't need to convert from feet to metres. You stick to the metric system, until you want to do a basic conversion, for something that your not sure whether is big or small, for instance. If you want to measure 1.2 metres with a tape/ruler, then you just do it and double check before you do something like cut it. There is no need to work out an exact conversion, each time. For most uses 1.2 metres is about 4ft. (It's actually 3ft 11 3/16 inches or 3.94ft). Honestly, do you really need to know that, most of the time? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
