Yahoo shortcuts

[Tushman]

I don't really know where to post this since it's not exactly "browser or email" related. I found "Yahoo shortcuts" today - very handy link to have on-hand.Google has the same services but it's not centrally located all on one page like Yahoo shortcuts.

Thanks tushman!Maybe someone can help me. I have been having a little argument with my wife and her sister who have been raised in Ontario Canada about liquid volume. Before we switched to the metric system we used the imperial.The way I remember it was that a gallon was 160 oz.There were 4 quarts in a gallon so each one was 40 oz.There were 2 pints in a quart so each pint was 20 oz.When I ask them they tell me that a cup is 8 oz.There are 2 cups in a pint so 16 oz.There are 2 pints in a quart so 32 ozand finally there are 4 quarts in a gallon therefore 128 oz.Now there reasoning seems a lot like the american system.So how could we use the yahoo shortcuts to solve our amicable arguments?Have fun!

Send them to Wikipediahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallonthe Subdivisions section. If they lived close to the US border in Ontario, maybe they go used to using the US pint???
