It's a conspiracy - check your measuring devices

Germans made a 10 gauge shot gun. Horrible hunk of crap. Not even proof marked. A friend has 1, he will never shoot it or even get ammo for it. It was offered to me for $15, after I saw it I passed. Friend got it when the owner died.

The German's did & do make some fine & beautiful fire arms. But they also made some real crap, near the end of WW2 they made some pure junk.

Naw, that one just doesn't make sense.

Number of balls of the bore diameter that it takes to weigh a pound is pretty intuitive stuff. Number of extrusion operations or whatever it is... that's plumb loco. Hindsight being 20/20 and all.

Or 6/6, if you happen to be metrically inclined.:laughing:

Her ya 5x5! :thumbsup:

There are some new measurement standards being introduced by industry:

Kelloggs = Raisin (Sultana) Bran has 2 Scoops of raisins per box. No word on just how big/small the scoop is.

And what's up with Fun Size = small candy/chocolate bars.

I'm boggled! :confused3:

Esperanto is the "latest" attempt (circa 1887) to have a "world language" or second language. Apparently there are still a few hundred thousand that are keeping the language alive.

I would say if it hasn't caught on by now..it's not going to!

Oddly enough, google translate will translate it. I looked for Klingon, but it was not there.. I postulate more people speak Klingon than Esperanto.:confused3: Some would say well Experanto is a "real language" and Klingon is just "made up?.. oh yeah? uh, huh. OK.
