>I already know the 2.2 kilo to the pound one,
Stop me if you've heard this one before, but don't you mean 2.2
lbs/kilo? Otherwise you'd be off by what, about a factor of a little
over five?
> but what is the cm to inch.
2.54 centimeters to an inch, as witnessed (and remembered) in the Mad
Magazine parody from my misspent youth, "2.54-centimeter-worm,
2.54-centimeter-worm, measuring the marigold, you and your
arithmetic..."
