[math-fun] Handy dandy metric hypervolume conversion formula
(c8) (4*floz*in/3,%%=uconv(%%,liter*mm)) 4 20031137357 (d8) - floz in = ----------- liter mm 3 20000000000 I.e., the moment of a fluidounce of stuff at 4" = the moment of a liter of it at 3 mm, to < .16%. (Can *your* units converter make liter*mm? Mine is free for the asking, but needs Macsyma or Maxima (maybe. The latter seems to be mutating.)) --rwg If you can handle AROMATIC MACROTIA, accept that TROPOSPHERIC PROSECTORSHIP and PRAISE GOD POSIGRADE, in keeping with DEASIL IDEALS.

Talking about hypervolume, a Google search for "cubic liters" had 656 hits. That's not so bad compared to 11.7M hits for "liters". But http://www.fnal.gov/pub/ferminews/ferminews03-11-01/p6.html from Fermilab? Their superconducting magnets are cooled with cubic liters of liquid helium.

Their superconducting magnets are cooled with cubic liters of liquid helium. 3 That's a lot of He !:) (c27) uconv(1.0*liter^3,in) 9 (d27) 227246.0 in They probably use square tubing. You don't have to be a man of liters to know that your cubic ones work better in square tubes than your spherical ones. Seriously, I would be ashamed to work in a place that misspent its money on such airhead flacks (and their managers). Probably graduates from the GreenPeace brochure proudly displaying a photo of a drug company's vandalized drainpipe which had dumped "thousands of cubic liters of pharmaceutical waste." That pipe was round. --rwg DISHONEST HEDONISTS
