New things
With improving technology comes the chance to make posts here from mobile rather than having to remember thoughts until home and near a computer. This is the first post from the iPhone, or Jesus phone as users of “The Register,” would call it. More drivel later.
No commentsOdd units of measurement
I’ve noticed that there is an increasing trend to measure large things using some odd units of measurements. For instance, today two lucky people have each won around 45 million pounds on the Euro millions lottery. Now for the hard of thinking, just how much is 45 million?
According to the BBC:
The winner would be able to enjoy a personal fortune comparable with that of the singer Sir Cliff Richard, the DJ Chris Evans or the footballer Michael Owen.
Well that makes it so much clearer. 45 million = Cliff Richard!
