For all who have difficulty converting units:

Ratio of an igloo's circumference to its diameter = Eskimo Pi

2000 pounds of Chinese soup = Won ton

1 millionth of a mouthwash = 1 microscope

Time between slipping on a peel and smacking the pavement = 1 bananosecond

Weight an evangelist carries with God = 1 billigram

Time it takes to sail 220 yards at 1 nautical mile per hour = Knotfurlong

16.5 feet in the Twilight Zone = 1 Rod Serling

1,000,000 aches = 1 megahurtz

Basic unit of laryngitis = 1 hoarsepower

Shortest distance between two jokes = A straight line

453.6 graham crackers = 1 pound cake

1 million- microphones = 1 megaphone

2 million bicycles = 2 megacycles

365.25 days = 1 unicycle

2000 mockingbirds = 2 kilomockingbirds

52 cards = 1 decacards

1 kilogram of falling figs = 1 Fig Newton

1000 milliliters of wet socks = 1 literhosen

1 millionth of a fish = 1 microfiche

1 trillion pins = 1 terrapin

10 rations = 1 decoration

100 rations = 1 C-ration

2 monograms = 1 diagram

4 nickels = 2 paradigms

2.4 statute miles of intravenous surgical tubing at Yale University Hospital = 1 IV League

Maybe that counted for a Sunday Quote; maybe it didn't. I sure thought it was funny, though!

Sep. 8, 2007 - Where do you find these things?

Yes, your measuring units are pretty funny!
And about my changing covers? It's a GIF file. What is a GIF file, you ask? I don't know. Go ask David. All I know is...I said to Ryan, "Please create a transparent banner that I can stick at the top of my main entry page that says 'I write kids' books,' along with a cover that changes to display all 3 books (I'm very aware of my space problems, and don't want my blog to look cluttered). Then please make a transparent icon that folks can click separately to enter my NEW writing blog.
And...he created it. He's handy to have around, I'll say!
Talk to you on Monday, as you know I don't turn my computer on, on Sundays.

Loved those! I'll have to send that to some homeschooling friends of mine. My favorite was the "billigram".

Have a wonderful Sunday!

It's wonderful to read a blog that isn't just about parenting or something to do with kids stories (which seems to be all I can write about). Thank goodness for people like you who still have the brain cells and time to find random interesting facts to keep busy parents like myself laughing!

Hahaha. Ok.... :P

Thanks. I did finish the essay, but when I read it tomorrow, I'll probably find a bunch of things I don't like. I'm usually never satisfied with what I write, even when I turn it in. Oh well.
