For the past 20+ years I've been using metric rulers. I should think in those terms too, right?

For example, I buy my tea in tins that weigh 250gms, rather than 4oz. My teacup is a one liter stein. But my waist size is 35 inches. Go figure. I'm going to go pour another liter of tea!



Velveeta has an unlimited shelf life, just like Hostess Twinkies. When they opened the tomb of Tutankhamen in Egypt they found an open jar of Velveeta that they carbon dated back to 1323 B.C. so the Anthropologists figure it was left over from his wake. It was just as good as the day it was sold.
