WierdConverter


As a translator of sorts, I am quite interested in conversions. Now, I’m not talking about religious conversions, although those are quite interesting, too. I mean things like converting one language to another, conversion of cultural norms, and – metric conversions.


Haven’t you always wondered how many newborn babies it would take to weigh as much as an African elephant?


1616.723253333


How about how many T-Rex’s would you need to stand on top of each other to reach the top of the Empire State building?


36.933336847


These and many other amazing-yet-weird conversions are available at the WeirdConverter site.


Interested in how many average bowel movements it would take to make up a Tom Cruise? One, you say? Wrong.


Check out the converter for the answer. First person with the correct answer wins a prize equaling 0.004761904761905 of a gas tanker semi truck. Figure that one out.


I totally get this site. No further translation necessary. Except for the conversion-type translations that will take place on the site. That’s the whole point.
