Those that point out the mistakes of others would do well to mind their own.

Heed your own advice, fool.


On entirely too many occasions I am indeed a fool, but I don't see where
devolving to name calling improves the conversation. Besides gently (IMHO)
chastising the intervening poster's rant, I still provided a useful answer to
the original poster's question (12+ cu. ft.) and a reference to the source.

Russell Kent continued:

Pounds (lbs.) are a measure of weight, not mass (which in the English system
would be slugs).


Gene Nygaard responded:

Where'd you get that idea?


Uh, 2 years of high school physics (a jillion years ago). Perhaps a few web
references will help clear the cobwebs:
