Try typing in "2.75 inches in MM" or even "270 miles in inches" and see what
it gives you...
Heck... Try "1 mm in miles" LOL. Wonderfully useful or a big time

If you use Google SMS (send text message to Google from your phone),
you also get the conversion. I love Google SMS because I can find the
weather by
w 80301
w Boulder
or find phone numbers by
optometrist boulder, CO
or the conversion mentined in this thread
3 in to m
or word definitions like
definition meticulous
You can also do simple math like 42 x 2 and google will return 42 x 2
= 81

Hell, that's old technology ... it even multi-tasks.
At least it did for my Dad. It's primary function was to keep his pants up,
but it also served a "conversion" purpose as above ... you just have to a
responsible enough parent to apply it.

Those dog correction collars and a small padlock do wonders for
screaming kids. The better ones have several correction strengths, from
tickle..to shit pants. They can also be programmed to give a tone.
So when the little rugape goes into a snit..with your remote..you
trigger the tone. If he pays no attention...press tickle. If that fails
to correct the problem..go right to Shit Pants.
it doesnt take very many corrections to resolve the problem. He/she/it
hears the tone..all unwanted activity ceases instantly. And its pretty
easy to break them of the automatic cringe when they hear the tone.
Though the trembling..thats what the valimum is for.

I put (some huge number) in MM and it did the conversion up to a point, the
started answering with "inf MM" for infinite. :)

The right answer, of course ;^)
But, good as it is, it won't translate miles-per-hour into

I'm relatively careful of the off-topic stuff I post, but this was one of
those "I wish I knew this years earlier" moments so I figured it might be
the same for others.

Well, if you've got Windoze, and want it at your fingertips:

You don't even have to install it - just download it to your drive
and run it. :-)

Will it convert a screaming, obnoxious, snot nosed rugrat into a decent
human being that is a pleasure to share public places with?
Then I'd REALLY be impressed.
