I always get confused on this one,

is a Pascal more than a Sievert?

cause I know a Sievert is more than a Gramme.

so in theory a bid of 6.3 kiloPascals and four Sieverts would beat 3 Kilogrammes and a dozen perpendicular kilometer.

unless the vertical kilometers are vertical relevant to a virtual plane.

I was looking to get rid of my SI units, not swap for different (inferior) ones, so more imaginative bids are encouraged!

whose cat ?

(there is only one answer to this question - or is there ...?)

and frankly 2lbs is a bit mean at this time of year

Old units for new? I'll offer a furlong per square fortnight. I'm sure you can use a little acceleration, AR!

That's not a lot of acceleration you're offering me there, jkj. I'd want at least 1 giga stones of that to consider a swap for my Newton.

How about the 4 smarties tubes (do with them what you wish, but I'd like to think they'd be used for turning cats into robots), a french GCSE listening tape, 94 crunchy nut cornflakes AND a wind up pimp car from the film 'Cars' that I got free in a McDonald's happy meal?

Thats a lot of stuff...you could take over the world with that.
