[SOC] Off topic observations and a question

[Art]

Stones. In the USA these are big rock things that geologists play with.
In the UK a unit of weight. 1 stone is equal to 14 pounds. 
But, English pints show remarkable value for money compared to their US
counterparts -- 567ml compared to 430ml. Good thing to know when
ordering beer. But what the UK calls beer, we call disgusting.
Although this might be mutual.

ps... Half inch. To the USA, half an inch or 1.27cm. To the UK, to borrow
without asking first.
