22 Jan 11 - 04:48 PM (#3080258) Subject: RE: BS: Oddity From: gnu There is only one true system - SI. ALL others are an abomination! There should be a Fatwad unleashed mercilessly on all who debase THE system! Especially the evil "Americans" who defile all that is measured by clinging to an antiquated system which truly is unchaste. In our antiquated system of yore, it's not presently -22WC. It's "Better put on yer woolies afore ye go out the door eh." Hmmm... stills works, I suppose. But why can't people just go with the flow? gnu, 2011.01.22 |

22 Jan 11 - 10:39 PM (#3080421) Subject: RE: BS: Oddity From: GUEST,Jon Adding the year you were born to the age you will turn in current year will always give the current year. 111 comes from dropping the 1900, ie 2011-1900=111. |
