No, but the grey goo scenario is highly interesting. I read about that a while back.

Quote:

Historically, a hogshead varied in size, but today in the United States is most commonly 63 U.S. gallons (7 buttkins; ca. 238.5 litres), so a butt is now 126 U.S. gallons, or about 104 imperial gallons.

However, in the United Kingdom a hogshead is 3 kilderkins, a kilderkin is 2 firkins, and a firkin is 9 gallons, making the pipe 108 gallons.

WTF?

Line of succession to the British throne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

thekremlin · 01-07-2011, 02:51 AM

We once inserted a friend of ours into the line of succession, down by like #209, figured there was a miniscule chance that everyone above him would die and we'd be in with the new king of england. Long story short, fucking wikipedia edited it in like 5 minutes.

1923 FA Cup Final - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:

The crowd was officially reported as 126,047, but estimates of the actual number of fans in attendance range from 150,000 to over 300,000

Quote:

The crowd was so large that fans swarmed right up to, and even onto, the pitch

DJ FC · 01-30-2011, 06:15 AM

Look how they're dressed. People don't dress like that anymore. It's odd to me. We're so much more wealthy now than the 1920s, but it seems the majority of people put much less time, effort, and money into dress. Or rather they put their efforts in a different direction. People try much harder to be sexy now rather than classy.

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
