Re: A Vindication of the Rights of Men
[ QUOTE ]
I like that her weight is given to 2 decimal places. Now I won't have to settle for some 114.65 lb fatty when the weight says 114.6 lb, because with her I know I am getting the 114.64 lb goodness. [/ QUOTE ] They are weighed in kilograms as is the custom in Europe, then converted into pounds for the greedy American eyes, 114.64 x 463.59237 = 52 KG. Mack

The fact remains that quoting a weight of 114.64 lbs is totally stupid since a person's weight varies by more than a pound on a given day. I was simply making a joke about how stupid giving such a weight is. What they do is even stupider since when doing a conversion that involves a multiplication you must only keep the same number of significant digits as your original measurement. They should have given the weight as 52 kg = 110 lbs which correctly indicates that her weight is in between 105 lbs and 115 lbs.
