Dude. The calendar started with Year 1. You started with Year 0. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 15:49
but andie just proved that that doesn't apply to birthdays ... -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 15:49 24
- but it does apply! -- nm - Remlik May 10, 15:51 23
  - how? a decade is 10 years. when you turn 10 you have completed the decade. you have lived a full 10 years. - Andie May 10, 15:53 22
    - Remlik says it does apply there it does apply - Danedukenuuk May 10, 15:55
    - apparently he's living in the decade of denial. :) Quick, someone buy him a tiny sports car! -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 15:54 20
      - oh, if that's all it is, i support his delusions. -- nm - Andie May 10, 15:55 19
        
        I'd be happy with a case of Candian Ketchup! - Remlik May 10, 15:57 18
        
        Just lobby Heinz to follow Hunt's lead. Problem solved. -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 15:58 1
        
        my nephew (tax guy for the US Gov) called Heinz Corp and they won't do it. -- nm - Remlik May 10, 16:01
        
        i was JUST thinking of that at the grocery store TODAY. - Andie May 10, 15:58 15
        
        it should say the weight on the bottle. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 16:08 10
        
        it has the volume on the bottle. -- nm - Andie May 10, 16:09 9
        
        I just looked at my ketchup, it says "net weight" -- nm - loosilu May 10, 16:12 8
        
        do you want to me to send you a picture of my ketchup? it says 750 ml. that's volume. -- nm - Andie May 10, 16:14 7
        
        You don't know the density of your ketchup? Are you *sure* you're canadian? *suspicious look* - musubi May 10, 16:15 2
        
        NO! -- nm - Andie May 10, 16:16 1
        
        *sheepish* I was just asking? - musubi May 10, 16:18
        
        hee! I believe you. I guess canada has different ketchup rules. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 16:15 3
        
        It's probably not a vegetable in Canada, either. -- nm - CovingtonCat May 10, 16:17
        
        liquids are generally measured in litres here. Don't you measure stuff in fluid ounces in the US? -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 16:16 1
        
        food is measured in weight. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 16:17
        
        I will be happy to pay in advance. -- nm - Remlik May 10, 16:01 3
        
        i just have no idea what it will cost. Canada Post does it by weight and package size. and it might be *outrageous.* -- nm - Andie May 10, 16:07 2
        
        Purolator might be less outrageous -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 16:14 1
        
        it might, actually. -- nm - Andie May 10, 16:17
