The legend at the bottom is so true. DAMHIKT.
Well, there was a study done a while back that showed somewhere north of 80% of Americans believe they are either in the top 20% of income earners or close to it. I never knew it was so crowded at the yacht harbor!
Life's hard by the yard, by the inch it's a cinch. Try metricating that.
In response to Hemmjo, in Australia tyre sizes use inches to signify wheel diameter. So 255/65 R17 is an example the 17 being inches. The only other aberration I am aware of is altitude measurement for aircraft which is in feet, I guess for safety reasons. Similarly aircraft airspeed and nautical speed is measured in knots or nautical miles per hour, a nautical mile being, I think an arbitrary division used for increments of latitude and longitude which assists in navigation calculations.
And that is the reason why most are broke and don't even know it, even if they all woke up one morning to find they no longer owed anything on any type of credit, and those who play the stock markets found out they no longer held any investment capital aside from their original cash investment none of them would be able to last 6 months on what little real income or actual cash on hand they possessed before once again finding themselves up to their eyebrows in debt.
Well, if we are doing pi jokes:

A quote from...
https://www.sciencefriday.com/segmen...e-really-need/
Mathematician James Grime of the YouTube channel Numberphile has determined that 39 digits of pi—
3.14159265358979323846264338327950288420
—would suffice to calculate the circumference of the known universe to the width of a hydrogen atom. (That number is rounded, for those of you keeping track.)
My alma mater has pi to a billion digits available for your delectation...

JPL, on the other hand tracks Voyager 1 using pi rounded only to a measly 15 digits. https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/edu/news/20...e-really-need/
The "KNOWN universe" is defined by the greatest distance to which we can see with our current technology. It is a radius and associated with that radius is the geometric notion of a circumference. It is that circumference to which the quote refers, not the as yet unknown boundary of the universe, if indeed one exists.
The most puzzling issue to me revolves around the fact that the universe is expanding. Into what is it expanding ? The question is as mind contorting as speculation of the origin of the big bang.
The "large boulder the size of a small boulder" tweet has reached meme status, and a similar tweet by the San Miguel Sheriff warned of a "large boulder the size of a large boulder":

So what is a ISO standard 'large boulder'?
74 golden retrievers.

hmm I wonder how big it would be in bolder CO.?
Stoner creek, a large boulder the size of a large boulder, Hum must be something in the water.
rong you old kodger, its' smoke between the ears.
and they use that h2o to water the weed...
Not to belittle those with the serious condition of water on the brain, but that's a soggy noodle.
Sing if you can, hum if you must....

In regard to "something in the water", I just saw this while reading some news. This article shows a major source of toxic chemicals in our water. We continue to build, purchase, use and discard products that are choking the life out of us.
I use We and Us in a very broad sense, myself included. Some of us try to recycle. I know a lot of the HMT group reuses a lot of stuff. The recycling "business" is not yet up to the task of dealing with massive stream of waste we continue generate. Even if by some miracle we began today, and were somehow able to properly reuse/recycle the whole waste stream in a safe way, we still have all of the stuff already abandoned for generations all over the world left to deal with.
All the while we continue to invent, build, use and throw away, new difficult to recycle stuff everyday. A lot of it, in the name of Saving The Environment.
Maybe not

Is this the first pour of one of those runways by mail?
it what's been passed through the water, the bong water that is! ;)
I guess you could do that with it
