Welcome aboard! As is my duty, I will warn you to avoid The Inquisition that will be arriving shortly to ask you about many random things, including wombats and cubits. Don't help them keep up the bad habits!

Also, there is one main rule here: the only stupid question is one that's been asked before. So use the search tool.

Welcome to the Booth Erin.

Allow me to be the first to introduce you to Cubits as the modern alternative measurement system. Let's face it the imperial system is based on the measurement of a long dead king's foot. The metric system... to many different units and who wants to count to 10 over and over. In both systems you are forced to lug around some sort of measurement tool. Well Cubits are the answer. First of all it's a system that comes straight from God and was proven on the Ark, so you know it's got to be good. Secondly, look at your forearm... you'll never again have to say, "Where's my measuring tape?" It's right there... tip of the elbow to the tip of the middle finger. 1 cubit. So easy and so simple.

I'll have my wombat fried with coleslaw, mashed potatoes, buttermilk biscuits and lots of sausage gravy.

These guys are Nuts, I'm getting outta here! C'mon hop on my Unicorn we'll fly to Narnia.


Welcome Aboard Erin! I'm going to amend Soundlights statement that the only stupid question is the one that's already been asked and say, the only stupid question is the one not asked There are plenty of folks here who''l be glad to remind you if you ask a question that has already been covered somewhere.

Anyway, Have fun, ask lots of questions answer what you can.

I am just going to say welcome. Then continue with a sane questioning, what kinds of work do you do? Do you have any specialities?
