I believe he inadvertently divided 8927.0589 by 750 instead of 18927.0859 as it would take approximately 25 750ml bottles to bottle 5 gallons of beer. I only know as I am in the process of buying 750ml Belgian style bottles for some Lambics I’ve made. NBD

time london
to:
466543 (spells GOOGLE)
and you get back the current date and time of London.

Enter a 3-digit US area code and it will tell you the location. Ditto for US Zip codes. Send ‘sushi London’ to 466543 and see what you get back.

It will do arithmetic, driving directions, units conversions, etc. too.

I have to teach a seven-hour class via webmeeting to a group in Singapore Monday (THEIR Monday) and I need to keep track of the time continually so I can let them have breaks, go to lunch, etc. This will help a lot.

I would have driven around to Hingham and taken off from there. Better currents, less pollution.

Sometimes I hate Google seeing as I work in internet marketing/SEO but they sure are handy. Been using the unit converter all the time since I started going to the gym, running, watching my diet, etc. Didn’t know how dependent we were on it in my office till for some reason it went down yesterday and a colleague realised he didn’t know how to check word spelling without it…
