i see a lot of threads on here saying things like "the measurments are in cups, but i need tablespoons," or "i want to convert grams to ounces," or "mr engineman, you always look so damn sexy. how do you do it?"

well, the answer to all three, is google. i made my breakfast this morning with one egg and a 1/4 cup of egg whites. when i entered the data, i saw that the measurement for the egg whites was in tablespoons. mind you, i was on my phone and at home. so i entered this into my diary via my mobile device, prepared to change it when i got to work. at work, i googled "how many tablespoons in a 1/4 of a cup?" Bang, an answer. 4 Tablespoons=1/4 cup How hard was that?



and that's right. its MISTER Engineman.

    Being British one has to deal with all those strange measurements that aren't 1lbs ozs pints or quarts so I am googling conversions to everything. I agree it is easy.

    But how do you google yourself "so damn sexy" Mr engineman312 ?

    Perhaps for me it would be convert - Gran to Glam - LOL:laugh:

    For iphone users there is actually an app called convert units. That's what I use. That was pretty funny though. I wonder what people would do without your awesome advice. lol
