Did someone say moths???

Maybe the baby was born 26 months premature.

Maybe the baby's real mother carried him in her womb for 20 months.

Doubt it was Rob, the text has been edited

Isn't "birth" defined as the process of being, quoting you, "flopped out of mother's meat curtains"?

I like the enthusiasm but it's called "birthday" for a reason

hah ! nooice

Also, air resistance was acting on the baby immediately after it left the hands accelerating it. So was she reporting peak speed or the speed several feet away as shown in the frame of the comic. Additionally, she could have easily avoided this ambiguity if she stated the hypothetical speed of the baby being as if it was thrown in a vacuum, but she didn't do that either. Its just pure laziness really.

The only useful miles is Miles O'brien.

We don't have metric months, only imperial month's. Yeah, you can convert them, but I don't want to deal with the number of bee wing flaps per 13,7 minutes at sea level right now.

Metric is for people who don't have a floating point coprocessor in their head.

She couldn't even get the plural of "month" correct, you want her to know the difference between months and weeks?

holy shit looks like I've been velocitating at an average of 0,024 km/h due south-east. It's pretty slow

Hum... At about 100m/year right now. I used to be faster than that.

Oh, you like math?

Yeah, for most parents, measuring age in months ends right around the one year mark.

I know plenty of parents who refer to their kid in months through year two, as you're hitting milestones every month or two (vaccines, physical/psychological development, age limit for certain pharmaceuticals, etc) and "2 years" is such a big milestone for them all.

Also, kids who are premature make things extra complicated. I still refer to my son as "13-months adjusted" because if I said "16-months" people would wonder why he was so small.

Cool. Still a speed and not a velocity.

As one of the Americans, home of useless made up measurements, I've made an effort to get used to using Celsius at least, mostly just by using weather reports that use it. And while it hasn't provided much utility living here other than understanding comments made by foreigners occasionally, I do like the system so much better.

This next year I'll start trying to familiarize myself with length/distance.

I love how metric works so much better. It definitely hits a happy spot in my brain for organization.

Due to living here I can't just forget the murican system, but it would be nice not to try to need a conversion lookups every time I hear a story about something that happens somewhere else.
