So in Des Moines you have 22 months in the year ?

In the land of Oz we also write the date dd/mm/yy.
And every time we buy a computer one of the first tasks is to made the date format right (for us).
Fortunately, and we are ever so grateful

, Mr Gates does give us the option!
I'm pretty sure that the K3, if I was to buy one, would also allow the correct date format; thanks Hicor/Choir/Whatever.

The date that is.

Time to pull a polar bear club and roll in the snow!!!
Better yet, bacon and cheese omelet in front of a fire!!!

Where o where are you tonight! Why have you left me here all alone! I searched the world over just to find true love! You met another, and thpppt you were gone!!- Song from the TV show HEE-HAAW

Feeling lonely Joel?
I can't help you - it is 10:33 here and I am going to bed.
And I won't be buying a K3 tonight!

And what about 12 fluid onces = 1 cup ... 2 cups = 1 pint ... 2 pints = 1 quart, ... etc.
And what about 16 inches = 1 foot ... 3 feet = 1 yard ... 1760 yards = 1 mile, ... etc.
And 3 strikes = "out" ... 4 balls = "walk" ... a "balk" = advance of a base, except for the batter ... but yes, if "beaned", etc.

All good reasons not to get a K-3, since it doesn't calculate conversions nor answer the essential questions of life in its "Menu" function.

PS - My lunch break "silliness moment" ... J

Not too bad here this morning. Only -2 and no snow. I don't mind the cold. Cold air doesn't need to be shoveled.

Love the Hee Haw link, Joel. One of the best, and classiest, tv shows ever!

Meh. Polar Bear Club requires a lot of bare skin and a lot of liquid water.

Roll on the ice maybe, before the liquid water part.

And at least one actual polar bear, to make things interesting!

Pioneer · 01-23-2014, 09:09 AM

No polar bears here. Not even very cold so I am pretty sure they would be a bit surly anyway. No K3s either. (or K5 Mk IIIs...or whatever they're called today.)

Scrambled eggs and bacon with cheese on top though! And coffee (thank goodness)

12 inches = 1 foot, Jean. Somebody been hitting the vino?
