That is useful indeed. For those of us who have a Palm PDA, a similar very
useful conversion program for which you obviously do not have to go online is
YAUC - Yet Another Unit Converter. 5 star rating on DNet and 5 Cow rating on
Tucows. It's freeware. Great little and stable program.

And if you're online and have a browser up, just ask Google. Forex:

How many teaspoons in a cup

will give you this answer:

1 US cup = 48 US teaspoons

And it gives you authority for a set of trick questions

Start with the classic:
Which is heavier? A pound of feathers? Or a pound of lead?

then go to:
Which is heavier? A pound of lead? Or a pound of silver?

then go to:
Which is heavier? An ounce of iron? Or an ounce of gold?

and top it off with:
Which is heavier? A pint of skim milk? Or a pint of heavy cream?

The middle two are good reminders for the jewelry crowd.

If I sleep on a pillow filled with a pound of lead, my head will feel a lot
heavier in the morning.

Selling jewelry with either the pound of silver, or especially the pound of
gold in it, will probably leave my wallet a lot heavier.

Which is heavier? A pint of skim milk? Or a pint of heavy cream?

Consuming the pint of heavy cream will leave ME a lot heavier...
