    Yes indeed! I want my pipe tobacco in proper 50 g. packs instead of the stupid 1.5 oz. which is 42.x g.

    What's oz anyway? I heard of some wizard of oz but never seen that movie. Something to do with Oztralia or so?

    I think Fahrenheit (Is it spelled this way?) measurement has to do blood temperature.
    Humans are generally at 37º Celcius, while on Far Night mode, they are at 100º
    BLARGH!

    Actually, the core temp of a human should be around 36.8C or 98.2F, so there are no round numbers in either system.
