Weird Converter.

By Miss Cellania in Everything Else on Jun 3, 2007 at 12:58 pm


150_scales.jpgWeird Converter makes comparisons between things you normally wouldn’t consider. For example: in the weight scale, one African Elephant equals 71.32 kegs of beer, and one male Polar Bear equals nine Jennifer Annistons. There’s also a height/length scale. Why do this?

Well, while watching the Discovery Channel one day, listening to the narrators compare the size of a truck to blue whales, I thought that someone should make a converter to change other completely unrelated items. So I built one. And come on, who hasn’t pondered how many poops a blue whale equals?

    Although it is Neat, I have to agree the stuff on the Discovery channel is off a little. They also like to throw out there things like the metric system. So and so is 157 meters long. This impresses no one in the English speaking world.

    Not to mention how they like to throw in evolution, global warming, carbon dating and other unproven science theory as if they were fact.

    Jumbo, The US is the ONLY English-speaking country that doesn't use the metric system. Canadians, Brits, and Indians use metric every day.
