Popular Post Further Posted September 16, 2021 Popular Post Share #3 Posted September 16, 2021 Last night, my wife, I shit you not, asked me how the moon moves. While I was silently dumbfounded she explained that she watched it move across the bedroom window, and wondered what moved it. I told her it had a couple Mercury outboards on it.. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since nobody uses, much less understands, the metric system we need to use units people do understand. And that would be about 0.05769 washing machines per year. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
