For the things that never make any sense! XD

So true, so true...

Found a lovely free pattern for a dress. - The catch? It needs to be printed on "legal" sized paper... When all I really have access to is A4 and maybe A3... (damn the whole ISO Metric vs tradition mess that is paper sizes in the US)

What's legal paper..?

This thread should seriously be split up. We need a topic just for dreams where we can share our oddest/funniest/scariest/best dreams every day ^^

Your wish has been granted. I've started a Dream Thread.

Woohoo!! ^^

These both explain the mess better than I could:

Legal paper - ever so slightly taller and wider than A4...
US paper system doesn't match that of the rest of the world. So whilst the EU and most of asia has A4, A3 etc. they have legal, letter etc.

A4 etc can scale into itself for easy shrinking of images, printing twice as much on 1 page is easy due to the system of sizing - US sizes no such luck - the ratios are all odd

(boggles the mind to think the whole printing stuff at half scale that I use so often to save paper is near impossible with the US system :/ unless it's all changed since I read up on this?)

You would more likely see Christian churches turn into Temples of Beelzebub than see the US go from the current system to metric.

That explains it then!

NoMakeSense thing of the morning...

Up and about far earlier for a "Fun" voluntary thing than I'd ever be willing to wake up for my degree...

I've always thought it was funny when the doll sites give me the option of English, Korean, or China. I don't speak China.
I've also seen numorous "Corean"s instead of "Korean", is there a reason for that?

I think that is probably because they don't use the English alphabet in Korea so most Koreans probably don't know how English speakers spell the name of their country. Because they don't know the English spelling, they spell it phonetically thus they use a "C"(which is phonetically equal to K) instead of a K.
