Fun and Quirky Decimal Equivalents: From Eskimo Pi to Knotfurlong

In summary, an igloo's circumference to its diameter is equal to the Eskimo Pi. 2000 pounds of Chinese soup is the same size as one Won ton. 1 microScope is equal to 1 millionth of a mouthwash. It takes 1 bananosecond for someone to slip and fall, and 1 FigNewton is the weight of an evangelist carrying God. 16.5 feet is the distance between two jokes in the Twilight Zone. 1 megahurtz is the basic unit of laryngitis. 100 Senators is the number of decisionsorry..HUH?yeah-huh??:confused:LMAO - Um.. They are jokes guys! lol. I like the Billig

KG,

You've got WAY too much time on your hands!
 
Thanks so much. It's 7:10 am, Saturday morning. I'm up so I can drive my husband to work. (He works 8 am to noon on Saturdays). AND YOU MADE ME LAUGH !! I'm sure some of my husband's engineering type buddies will like this, as well as some of my relatives who are teachers.

I'll for fix it, just for you!Colleen, I don't go looking for this stuff, it tends to just find me. I can't pass along the bulk of it! ;)
