We Americans (defined as residents
of the USA) frequently have problems with metric conversions.
In an attempt to clarify the conversion process I now submit some "Useful
Metric Conversions."
- 1 million microphones = 1 megaphone
- 2000 mockingbirds = two kilomockingbirds
- 10 cards = 1 decacards
- 1 millionth of a fish = 1 mircofiche
- 453.6 graham crackers = 1 pound cake
- 1 trillion pins = 1 terrapin
- 10 rations = 1 decaration
- 100 rations = 1 C-ration
- 10 millipedes = 1 centipede
- 3 1/3 tridents = 1 decadent
- 2 monograms = 1 diagram
- 8 nickels = 2 paradigms
- 2 warves = 1 parados
I hope this proves a useful tool. |
