Rough Equivalents: We Do The Silly Math So You Don't Have To
Ever wondered how much 100,000 kilometers of bologna slices weighs, how many pickled peppers are really in a peck, the horsepower in a Twinkie? Three times a week I ask these questions and then go find the answers. I just added a new calculators page where you can calculate distances in pennies, AA batteries, or squares of toilet paper, or you can find out how much you're worth if you're worth your weight in gold, spam, pretzels, or crude oil. It's lots of geeky fun. Hope you'll come along for the ride.
