Here is another note-to-self.
Instead of Googling a web site that allows you to convert units. Simply type the following into Google:
0 degrees celsius in fahrenheit
373 degrees Kelvin in fahrenheit
36 inches in yards
60 miles in kilometers
21 light-years in parsecs
48 days in fortnights
15 pounds in stones
6 kilograms in pounds
5 newtons in pounds
3 euros in dollars
Note that 6 kilograms in pounds is correct only on Earth, since kilograms is a unit of mass, and pounds is a unit of force. But Google even knows you are on Earth!!! Those guys in Mountain View are AMAZING! What will they think of next…free wireless for all?
Happy converting.
