It's like my current sig file says:
"Mickey doesn't care which pocket you put the money in so long as his pants jingle at the end of the day."

Did that once in high school. Exam asked for the speed of light in a vacuum and I gave the (correct) answer in units of furlongs/fortnight. Prof had to give me credit, since I did have the right value, but it took him a while to prove it.
I understand that he now specifies the units of measurement to be used. :twisted:

If my calculations are correct, that'd be roughly 1.79 x 10^12 furlongs/fortnight
