How to save billions of dollars.

So Poland and the Netherlands don't use SI, or they are the only countries which do? If a Polish scientist described something in Mg, would a German scientist be confused by the unit?

I've always wondered why that doesn't happen with the word billion. American English thinks that's 10^9 whereas British English thinks that's 10^12. That should have led to loads of confusion.

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?

3. 2 licks before you give up and bite the whole thing off (which I think counts as a lick). Duh.

Personally I think we should be protesting God or mother nature or evolution or whatever. 365.24 days in a year is just annoying. It should be either 100 or 1000. Similarly, the lunar cycle is 29.5 days. I mean, come on!
