I measure my fuel consumption in hogsheads per cubit, and that's the
way I like it!

No, here in Canuckistan we're metric...
Litres/100 km
so volume/distance rather than distance/volume...

At some point it becomes like Obama's deficit. People's eyes glaze
over at $1,500,000,000,000.
A hundred billion here, a hundred billion there, and pretty soon
you're talking about real money (Everett Dirksen, updated).

Cool site ... now the next time there's a 10,000 barrel oil spill the
media has no excuse for not using a much more shocking number than
"gallons", instead of the "barrels" that oil is sold by ...
They can now say 422,400,000 teaspoons.

What? They get upset when you bring in big sticks to measure their

As long as it was wide enough to write on, it would definitely be a product
that could be used. A "story stick in the pocket". Maybe we should all
write Rob Lee and let him know that this joke may be on him. He
inadvertantly created a useful product here. It had to happen eventually.
These guys got the whole tool making thing down to a science. Even when
funnin' us, they are tool makers. Must be a nice life.

Seems to me that the two systems, imperial and metric, measure different
things.
Miles per gallon is a measure of fuel/car/engine efficiency whereas L/100 km
is a measure of fuel consumption.

Surely that would be Bush's deficit, since he doubled it with
two unnecessary wars, foolish tax cuts on the wealthy,
and the initial wall street bailout.

It's a hoot that they have it in metric and cubits as well as imperial,
It would be good for quickly marking up interesting things in
antique and junk stores.

FastCap has made something sort of similar for quite a while.
Measurements on one side, blank area on the other.

Unneccesary Wall Street bailout was passed by a Democrat congress at the
behest of the Democrat Presidential candidate.
Bush's deficit over his entire 8 years did not add up to what Hopey Changy
had rung up in a little over 1 year.

Somewhere they have a section of previous April Fool's Day items that is
hilarious, somebody had fun building those things.
