But inches are divided into 8 bits, or 16, or 32, or 64, not 100 bits.

I am but a simple bear and my head just can't grasp 1.97 inches. If you want to divide things into 100 use metric, if you want to use inches but be very accurate, use smaller traditional fractional divisions.

what costs more a yard or 3 feet of cable....

at 10 bob a foot, both cost the same. but if a yard of cable is 5 bob a foot and 3 feet of cable is 10 bob a foot. then one costs twice as much as the other.

Speak for yourself.
1 meter is tip of thumb on right hand to left nipple... (approx) right arm out to the side of me..

 

[telectrix]

1 meter is for leccy. the other is for gas.

and the tip of right thumb to left nipple is a decent size of cheesecake.

Very true mate....

I like the dual approach...open up your tape-measure, read off the size and it,s 8 and a half inches, and 2 mm...deadly accurate!
