It's what size glass beer is served in the UK. And of course, what some call beer in the USA bears little resemblance.

How many topics have we covered now in this thread?

well, yeah, I've tried what you people call beer and I've never drank anything so watery and tasteless. But you do make great bourbon, so no problems there.

American beer sucks. There are some microbreweries now making good ales and such. I mostly avoid it and drink wine instead.

Z

I don't even touch alcohol anymore.   I never liked any of it.

Speaking of topics, I just wanted to say that the reason androgynes are of such mild temperament is because someone knocked us unconscious.

Never been big on beer or bourbon. Bailey's, on t'other hand...

Or anything chocolatey, for that matter...bit of a chocolate whore, am I.

(Can you say "whore" here, or have I just broken a cardinal rule? )

you can say 'whore' but you can't call someone a whore.  You can call yourself a whore, but then you have to meet with me in the back room.  Heh heh

This thread? It's been all over the map and back again and then "pop goes the weezle again." Well as for alcohol, I don't touch the stuff, but I chow tobakie and smoke marywanna. Na I'm a good girl, I don't do any of that stuff me tells ya. Cindy is wearing a little blue dress with white fringed cuffs and hem she holds her hands behind her back crossing her fingers as she rocks slightly back and forth on the heels of her feet while studying the ceiling and whistling a little tune.

It strayed three times to varying degrees on page one alone. Just a guess but that sounds par for the course. 18 pages, say 2.5 strays each means we have one hell of a fear of things getting too serious.

Quote from: Wikipedia (Really, where else?!)Imperial pint
The imperial pint is equal one eighth of an imperial gallon.[1] It is used in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries, though mostly replaced by metric units.

1 imperial pint:
= 1/8 imperial gallons
= 1/2 imperial quarts
= 4 imperial gills
= 20 imperial fluid ounces
= 568.26125 millilitres (exactly) ≈ 568 ml
≈ 34.677429099 cubic inches
≈ 1.2009499255 U.S. wet pints
≈ 1.0320567435 U.S. dry pints

You know, you guys do all make it hellishly difficult for yourselves (and the rest of us!!!) to have any clue what you are talking about when measuring stuff. Follow the French, go metric! 

I reckon, I always got confused trying to convert things between kilometres and milimetres (had to do it in maths at school; why you would want to convert such measurements is beyond me. Other than proving you can do it, of course), never mind trying to work with a more complicated system.

And glad I'm not the only arachnophobe!

I'm heading out there now... If anyone would like to join us...

I am not certain either. Except that grams are way smaller than pounds, it just makes it sound that we are getting more for our $ which is not really true.  When buying gasoline, comparing the quantity of liters per dollar and gallons per dollar, it sound like you are getting more for your buck in metric as compared with the dollar and that just ain't so.

It is not easy no matter what you do.

U.K. gallons are larger than U.S Gallons.

There is even more than one metric standard. This caused one of the European Mars probes to crash, the landing system was written in one system, and programed to land in the other. It sort of made a nice crater.

Ya I know, it landed in my back yard and now it is siting on my mantlepiece in the fortress of city square Mars. Well I was supposed to move to the face but they want to much for rent.

Saying something like that here will get you the death penalty.

Vive le Revolucion! 

In many respects the US is metric, we just don't tell anyone else.  But beverages, lots of tools, and weights are more metric, miles however I think we're stuck with.

Wouldn't want the French to know, would we now.

Nope, we got Freedom Fries and Freedom Toast, damn it!  I guess that's "Freedom Kissing" now too.

Hmmmm. Freedom Kissing sounds boring...
