Thats pretty good. I really like the bananosecond. We work in metric in the lab of course...I will have to share that. :)

2. You do that!

I had to LOL, too, when I friend sent those to me.

3. What is this metric system of which you speak?

And what kind of ciphering do ya have to do to convert it to rods, bushels, and hogsheads?

[tango-tee]

4. Here ya go!

To convert anything ya got into hogsheads, just use:

(1/2) d{x2(t) + y2(t) + 2} / dt = - {x2(t) + y2(t) + 2} + b <(r + )/2>2
