Re: calories


Wow, another export market for Australia. No empty more drink cans
littering our highways - we'll export them to US Physics teachers instead!
Should do wonders for our balance of payments

I have such a can (Never filled), and it was manufactured in Australia. I
trot it out ever year when we talk about energy, to show that at least part
of the rest of the world is willing to use one unit for energy at least
most of the time (we souldn't forget eV, Mev and Gev, should we?).

I got my can from a colleague several years ago (sadly, I can't remember
who it was) who brought a case of them back from a trip to "down under" and
gave them to those of us who happened to be present at the time. I cherish
mine and watch it like a hawk when it is making its way around my class.
