A Completely Unrelated Series of Thoughts... Part 6

No worries. In Belgium we don't even have a crown. But we have plenty of waffles.

[Izret101]

And excellent clocks and chocolate

[Zagnorch]

So, we've got a new king as of today.

Will Jean-Claude Van Damme and the Smurfs be at the coronation ceremony?

They weren't. As a strange token of humility, not even other crowned heads or foreign princes were invited. The only notable foreign guest was Barroso, to underlign the importance of the EU...strangely Van Rompuy wasn't there, and he's from Belgium.

It's not a real coronation ceremony anyway, as there isn't even a crown. The (new) King basically swears the oath in front of parliament, and that's that. Look here. If you want the best of pomp and traditions, the British monarchy wins easily. Just look at all the coverage of the new baby.

Look here.

Here's an unrelated series of thoughts for you:

- Does Russlyman have a taller, thinner fraternal twin brother who dresses up as Luigi? And if so, does he have a fiancee who dresses up as Princess Daisy?

- How many shitloads are there in a fuckton? and should these measurements be added to the metric system?


To quote the immortal George Carlin: these are the kind of things I think about when I'm sitting home alone and the power goes out.

Fuckton is definitely English Standard, but Shitload is metric.

There are miliShitloads, decaShitloads, and the dreaded MEGASHITLOAD.

[Shadow Kisuragi]

I thought shitton was metric, not shitload?

[GrayGhost81]

Metric shitton is different.

A shitload of something. Added as a new unit of the metric system in 2011. True story.

[bombatomba]

Okay, so we can confirm that shitload is metric and fuckton is obviously Imperial (since "ton" is used and not "tonne").  Now we need a conversion formula.

UPDATE  Lol.  From the official source: "[A fuckton is] a measurement used to describe theoretical objects. Equal to exactly 2 Shitloads + 12 Assload"

[RetroRage]

Solve for x. 

3 Shitloads + 4 Fucktons = x Shitloads of Fuck.

[Izret101]

"X Shitloads of Fuck" sounds like a German porn movie.

You are gross.

Sounds more like a ratings system the AVGN would come up with for his game reviews.

Now how would I input this formula into my TI-84?
