the whole freakin' INTERNET is a calculator, and so is your computer! try google, or hit the windows key, then the r key, then type calc (i'm too lazy to look up the mac command).

Google does conversions. On any Google search box just enter what you want converted, for instance:

22 inches in cm

... spits out:

22 inches = 55.88 centimeters

Hey, just so you know, Google will do the conversions automatically!

















If it's worth saying twice, it's worth saying three times. :)

i think the verdict is still out on that, but if google is anything like the internet, i think you can get to it with an @.

that depends on how long your left arm is.
