Being 180 cm tall and weighing well over 90 kg makes me fit excellently in the fat category. Having a shoe size of 43 helps, too. :P
For those of you who still aren't metricized (is that a word?) that's approx. 6 feet, 180 lbs and a shoe size of 9 UK, 10 US. :P
Oh, and I also have twisted feet, sort of. When I stand naturally, they point about 40 degrees outwards (forming an angle of upwards 80 degrees in relation to each other). Very cool. I can twist them backwards if I really want to ;)

Suggested feature of the board: automatic conversion from imperial to metric system of units :)

Heh heh, if you told people in America that you wore a size 46 shoe they'd scoff at you. And Bob, I like your idea. Actually, I got a better one. How about everyone else in the world learns the standard system (they did name it standard for a reason, y'know!) and that way, no worries. Because of course, the US is the most powerful country in the world and if y'all don't learn standad, our "smart" president will probably nuke ya. 'Nuff said.

ISTM that metric is more standard than Imperial these days. :P But anyway, I use a mixture of both - I measure in centimetres, metres, etc (except floppy disks and monitors, which are done in inches), use litres and millilitres (but pints when referring to the likes of beer), but use miles instead of kilometers, etc. What a mess...

What about gallons? [Side note: This forum needs more spacing. This post is WAY too compact]

There's a space at the top of posts in the Recent Threads page, but not the actual thread page. You'll notice I always add a line of nothing to my posts to correct this (that makes 2 spaces in the Recent Threads page). Now that I think about it, I wonder if Matthew is aware of this
???

Also, it likes to eat that leading whitespace line if I try to edit the post. This also happens to editting one's sig.

Gallons are no longer used here in the UK.

Then again, some of us have sig lines that take up as much space as a minor airfield to fill up the post ::)

Hmmm, I wonder who that could be...
As of now, I'm not one of those people. However, it is inevitable that I will have my sig filled up with all my favorite quotes soon enough...

As pertaining to the issue on systems of measurement I tend to prefer the Metric system over Standard even though here in the US everything is in Standard.

I think I just like ease of convertibility ;D.

Yep, I agree, the metric system makes more sense (everything is just an exponent of a smaller size, etc...). But hey, since the "Imperial System" is the system of choice in the US, make people EVERYWHERE conform to our narrow-mindedness! Wghaaa! ;D

Yep ... "standard" is one of the most retarded systems ever. It only purpose, really, is to allow US chemistry teachers to harass students who forget to write their units on every single freakin number. I don't understand why it is kept, excepting the explanation that people are stupid here (in the US).
We do, however, get to use slugs, and slugs are always good. I had a pet slug once. It ate my pet fishies. Except it wasn't actually a slug, it was a snail, and I'm not sure that it really ate the fishies. They might have not died at all. But close enough. The point is that slugs are cool, and since it's an inherently true statement, I don't have to really do much to prove it, do I? ;D

Your shoes actually have three sizes written underneath their tongue. It's US, UK, and something else.
Don't you love how people can't just stick to one freakin standard? The US especially. It's extremely annoying. We only need one system for this stuff! Oh well.

I wear a 10.5 or 11, in US shoe sizes.

Bananas are way cooler than slugs. Of course, bananas make lousy pets. Can't sing, can't act, can't even dance a little. All they do is go and get eaten when the rest of your ignorant family mistakes them for food.
I should get a jar of peas. At least no one will mistake THAT for food. Then again, spontaneous combustion is bad for your health.
Damn it, matthew, I want my posts back :P

ROFLMFAO that's some very funny censoring, Matthew.
And BTW, Bacons are the best pets of all. They are cute, slimy, affectionate and slightly hairy (if they're really old), all the stuff you'd want in a pet. Of course, you DO have to make sure that you hide them from your family... some people tend to think they taste rather good :o
I don't see how someone could eat a Bacon... ::)
Who else here can fit one leg behind their neck and hop around on the other one? Sure, you get that horrible crick in your neck and you can't walk for two days afterwards but still...
