LlazarusLlong Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Did you know that one of the members of 10cc, who had a string of hits in the 70s (including "I'm Not In Love" which is the only known instance of irony - in its correct sense - being used in a massive number 1) was called Lol Creme.Do you know any other pop star, famous person, or even a foreigner who thinks it completely normal, who shares their name with a common internet acronym?PS Don't even ask what the name of the band refers to...

Griffin Ceawlin Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 10ccs?!! That doesn't seem like very much... In fact, I would venture to say that my "volume" is closer to 100. ETA: Or more! ETA II: Definitely more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin Ceawlin Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 LOL. Just be glad I'm not a nurse. I get to fill syringes every day for someone who's too lazy to do it himself. I thought I was dispensing 24ccs (bear in mind also that the metric system is not in common usage here) of insulin every day when really it's 24 "units" which is 2.4/10ths of a cc. And I thought... "Really? 10ccs? That's the average?" I even asked him if 10 units was 10ccs and he said it was (good thing he's not a nurse, either). Anyway... 10ccs still seems low... I'd attach a pic (illustrating what 10 units looks like) but my phone won't allow. ETA: Sooo... my "volume" is (significantly) more than 100 units.

LlazarusLlong Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Another quite interesting thing: did you know that in Welsh language crosswords, you must sometimes put two letters in a square. This is because some combinations of two letters, like CH, or LL actually count as one letter. Of particular interest is that FF is a completely different letter to F, the former being pronounced 'eff' and the latter as 'vee'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
