a (metric) unit

Adam,

Why don't I join my half a brain cell up with yours and let's try make some sense of what you're saying.

"If Britain and France were the same temperature one day, ... so we will have 'warmer' weather than them."

See, that makes no sense whatsoever. That's like saying that fifty farthings is better than a one pound note because there are more of them.

Now, now, Jim -- Adam is only employing the same kind of logic that Shel Silverstein endorsed:

Smart

My dad gave me one dollar bill
'Cause I'm his smartest son,
And I swapped it for two shiny quarters
'Cause two is more than one!

And then I took the quarters
And traded them to Lou
For three dimes-- I guess he didn't know
That three is more than two!

Just then, along came old blind Bates
And just 'cause he can't see
He gave me four nickels for my three dimes,
And four is more than three!

And I took the nickels to Hiram Coombs
Down at the seed-feed store,
And the fool gave me five pennies for them,
And five is more than four!

And I went and showed my dad,
And he got red in the cheeks
And closed his eyes and shook his head--
Too proud of me to speak!

And just for all of you who don't know American denominations:

1 dollar = 100 pennies

2 quarters = 50 pennies

3 dimes = 30 pennies

4 nickels = 20 pennies

5 pennies = a moron, if you started out with a dollar!

I have a dollar but I better throw out my 5 pennies then because no one wants to exchange them for another dollar.

So is "pennies" interchangeable with "cents" in the US?
Uriel   Wed Feb 01, 2006 6:28 am GMT
Yes: 1 penny = 1 cent. Usually the price amount is given in cents, as in "That costs fourteen dollars and fifty-two cents", while the coin itself is called a penny.
Guest   Wed Feb 01, 2006 6:40 am GMT
Ahah! I had been wondering if there were pounds to go with those pennies.

My penis is 6 inch when errected.

Can someone can convent this so I can get some Metric European pussy?

Guest Tue Jan 31, 2006 11:55 pm GMT
You're too small. Inflating the numbers with metric won't change that. >>>

in the USA the average penis size (white male) is 6 inch =15.24 cm

in Europe the average penis size is 16.25 cm = 6.398 inch

Statistically the Americans have a shorter penis size due to circumcision. Only 12% of (white Europeans) are circumcised
Guest   Wed Feb 01, 2006 1:41 pm GMT
Wow, you got a whole 1 cm out of a 1 mm foreskin.

Anyway, 6.398" is too short too. You may as well get a 1cm head start by going to the USA to get help for your self-esteem issues.
Guest   Wed Feb 01, 2006 1:43 pm GMT
Or Mr. 6.398 could become a black man.
Guest   Wed Feb 01, 2006 2:08 pm GMT
<Wow, you got a whole 1 cm out of a 1 mm foreskin. > You must be a woman !


It’s not the 1mm foreskin that makes your penis bigger. It’s because your penis is intact and has more blood supply, circumcising your penis, you cut the big veins that supply blood to your erect penis. Also by circumcising, the penis retracts somehow inside your body because cutting the prepuce is cutting the flexibility.

By the way, 1 cm is a big difference…

The average vagina is from 11 to 15 cm anyway. So 16.25 cm is more than enough...

Hmmmmmm.

I don't know how to put it more simply.

But I'll explain again as best as I can -

If 0 degrees farernheit is -18 degrees celsius, that means that if the temperature in Britain is the same as it is in France, then that means that in Britain it is 0 degrees farenheit (that what we say) but to the French it is -18 degrees celsius.

Even though the temperatures are the same, it gives the impression that France has colder weather.

Now, I'm trying to word it as simply as I can. If you can't get it yet, then you never will.
