I will only invest in nukes that are 150 gigameters away. How much solar energy 
have you collected today?
Id put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we 
dont have to wait til oil and coal run out before we tackle that. I wish I had 
a few more years left. -- Thomas Edison♽☯♑

Everyone needs to know, especially if you prepare 
food with measuring cups, that if you use the USC side, that each USC ounce is 
precisely 30 mL and the 8 ounce marking on the cup means 240 mL and not 236 and 
some decimal dust millilitres.  
 
If you do conversions from ounces to millilitres 
in recipes, do not use 28 g or 29.5 mL.  Use both 30 g and 30 mL as the cup 
manufacturers are using the FDA and not the NIST definitions for cup 
dimensions.

A cup-shaped kitchen utensil, 
varying in size from 1/4 to 5 cup measures that are used to hold specific 
amounts of both dry and liquid ingredients. Traditional small dry measuring cup 
sizes are used for dry measures of 1/8, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 1, and 2-cup sizes in 
U.S. measures or 30 ml, 60 ml, 80 ml, 120 ml, and 240 ml in metric. The liquid 
measuring cups can range in sizes that measure from 1 teaspoon or 5 milliliters 
to 8 cups or 2 liters. The smallest cup measures 1 to 6 teaspoons in U.S. 
measures or 5 to 30 milliliters (ml) in metric.
