Yep! 755 gr (750=3/4 of 1000) is just over 1-1/2 lbs.

Sorry to be so late in finding this. You know how I love to play with your …………. numbers. YES! Numbers! That’s what I was thinking.



Converting our clunky system to the thought-out one the rest of the world uses isn’t too hard if you don’t want it to be. (We know anybody can make anything not work if they don’t want it to)

A few of our randomly unrelated measuring units can make for easy ‘head conversion’ if you have just one mentally connected to each measurement class of their very workable ten base system. In the case of weight, our lb. is just over ½ kg.

[kilogram = 1000 (kilo) grams. That’s about 2-1/4 of our lb to 1 kg. So for head numbers, you can buy lunch meat or chocolate buy just halving what you would normally get. “½ kilo” of bologna is just over 1 lb. The weekly supply of 5 lbs of chocolate is a little less than 2-1/2 kilos and sounds less hoggish.]

As I read this thread, I had a good suspicion what we were converting. A pound and a half of a eating thing growing inside you that didn’t come OEM and won’t jump out, is a BIG thing. I’m just so happy you didn’t have one with poison seeds.


And I'm so glad you’re back with us early.

(As for any ironies reports of me starting to hang up mandatory panty exchange signs, please disregard them. I’m sure it was a case of mistaken identity. )
