I looked at how big a millimeter is on a ruler and...

    Does anyone out there feel lonely because they have no one to sign with?

    Yeah, it does get lonely not signing to anyone for weeks to months at a time. I always feel better after going to a Deaf event down at Austine.

    The dreams I remember are surreal ones involving things like a mini-me Ronald McDonald, a house with huge chasms in the floors and flimsy bridges across them, a handheld button panel that grows chopping knives when you press number 2, door mats that act like jetskis when you bend them lengthwise...

    It's just unit conversion. Really easy on a TI-86, which has the conversion factors built in. :cool2: It's just using the numbers we already know like 60sec = 1mn, 60mn = 1hr, etc. :D Nice page I found: Fun with Dimensional Analysis
