I'd missed that one. Also I am not familiar with this "Birds and Bees" one which was mentioned.
Edit: ah, top of your profile and a front page. You'd think I'd have noticed that before.

# Dammit, google won't measure things in teaspoons per light year any more.

# probably 'cos one's got dimensions of length
and one of volume (length3)
it'll just give you an area

# Yes, I never understood what it could possibly mean
and that was why it was great.
Edit: the famous thing used to be one acre in teaspoons per light year; I see some people claiming that this meant the volume that results from projecting an acre vertically over a light year.

# not that complicated really
imagine if you were trying to work out something in, say litres per foot. you'd just end up with something in whatever dimensions are left after your multiplying and dividing (area, in this case - so square metres, or square feet, or whatever), with some conversion factor between the units

in your case, the number you get is also the number of teaspoons in the volume you describe.
just multiply each side of the equation by a light year to see why:
one (acre light year) in teaspoons
[an (acre light year) is just the volume you describe]

# I had no problem with the acre light year as a three dimensional volume
but what the hell is a litre foot?
(, Mon 10 Dec 2007, 23:39, archived)
# a litre foot would be a 4-dimensional length measurement
but i said litre per foot, so that's just 2-dimensional

if in doubt, just convert them all to one measurement system (like metres for length) and it soon all drops out

i like your sig, by the way. i don't think i've said yet
(, Mon 10 Dec 2007, 23:45, archived)
# The words "litre per foot, that's just 2-dimensional" are failing to correspond to anything I can imagine.
However, I should probably go to bed. I might get back to you about this.
