Would that be an N scale sized beer? If so, how many can you have before you reach the legal BAC limit?

Now that's something I know about having presided over a staggering (pun intended) number of DUI cases.  The answer would be 160 N scale beers per 1:1 hour since the normal human can metabolize one drink an hour without any significant BAC.  The problem comes when you are at a bar for four hours but you consume those four drinks within only one of the hours.  The metabolization rate can't keep up.

Jeesh, I've hi-jacked my own thread or string or whatever in the heck it's become :D

I'm surprised there have been no comments about  Pecha Kucha.  That's where I expected  :ashat: 's to take this thread.
Best regards,

Roger

... it can't be tested (yet).

Or quite possibly, ever.    When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Besides, everyone knows it's turtles all the way down....   :D

160 N scale beers would be, like, maybe a teaspoon.  So no worries of hitting a BAC limit there. :)

EDIT: Actually, looks like it'd be 0.000625 ounces of beer.  Not even sure that counts as a 'drop'.

I thought about asking, then changed my mind for fear of sounding dumb, but Okay, what the H*** is Pecha Kucha or whatever?

It's nothing earth-shaking:

Hmm... I did a
presentation on lowly
monkeys last week...



Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"

You have to cube 160 to get the correct volume of beer... so 4,096,000 N scale beers are required.


Hmm... I'm dreaming
about cubing my banana
supply...

Okay, I got the reference...  LOL  :D

Sheldon: I don't sneak into your apartment and correct equations on your board!
Leslie: There are no incorrect equations on my board.

LOL

EDIT:  Am I the only one who keeps thinking this says "meth help needed?"  It must be almost time for another season of Breaking Bad.

No, I still have to reread this thread title to make sure it doesn't say that,

I think that you have to be on meth to comprehend the concept of 11 dimensions and be one with the universe!  ;)
