babble is rabble.ca's discussion board but it's much more than that: it's an online community for folks who just won't shut up. It's a place to tell each other — and the world — what's up with our work and campaigns.

G'day!

Welcome, superbrad! And don't mind Caissa... he's just impersonating a mythical Thracian dryad these days...

Nay verily, I affirm it and humble myself in its transcendent aura!

Doesn't take much - but, inspired by the Beatles, my soul bounces right back!

How do you know the first measurement was in mm? Awful sloppy lab report from this newbie.

You did well. It's the rest of us that are dysfunctional. Welcome yet again! Now go join or open a thread and start tossing some opinions or questions around! In good health.

Unionist,

Superbrad does know that this is a 21st c. versiion of Bedlam, doesn't s/he?

So we suddenly get three new babblers - with consecutive babbler numbers - all of whom have names composed of digits. 

I call Invasion of the Right-wing Sock Puppets.

Unionist is right, both are in mm. It would be rude to use to different units of measurement and only label one!

But, it's suppose to be 7.62, not 762, wasn't sure if I was allowed to use periods.

It's a cartridge size that fits the AK47 rifle.

297.18 square millimeters? I know. The size of Harper's brain.

ETA: The 7.62 also fit the FN-C1

*7.62x51mm fits the fn-c1.

7.62x39mm also fits the sks, vz58, and various other rifles.

 

What's with the personal attack against Harper?

The 6.5x55 is clearly superior to the 7.62x39. Cartridge of the peasantry and the unwashed masses, I say.
