noldo's fault

From:

An excellent thing to blame them for, then :-)

From:

kaberett

i mean i actually looked this shit up (and did the calculations) to irritate them and also to prove a point

because what better way to troll people than with comparative sheep population analysis

but i still reckon it means that's their fault ;)

PS I am really looking forward to someone crying over the degree of precision I give ;)

That's a lot of sheep. And yarn.

From:

ghoti

Given sheep per sq km, I think we now need to calculate how many feet of yarn can be made per sq km.

YES YES YES DO IT

Feet per square kilometre? Surely the right unit is simply m^-1. :-)

From:

ghoti

See, but then meters would cancel and I forget what the prefix for 10^2 is.

Unit conversion is my nemesis.

(reminds me of the quip that physics problems will always be written in the most inconvenient units, like furloughs per fortnight.)

Baaaaa!

Or, more relevantly, a link that doesn't seem to exist to the song from _Not the Messiah_ that I feel is called for here. (Noldo will know what I'm talking about....)
