I didn't know that grits were available anywhere except in the south? You must be talking about instant grits which southerns argue don't count as real grits, which are so bland that the only way I can eat them is to stir my eggs yolks into them, cover them with syrup and then while the waitress is not looking scrap them into the trash. Stones, see what I mean calculate in base 16(hex/) US weight systems are a little simpler i.e. 100lbs (8 stones = 112lb) in a hundredweight, 2000lbs (2240lbs 20hw) in a ton. Leap of Faith has been showing on some of the premium TV networks, which get the movies around 3 months after the video stores, so I guess it may be realeased to the theatres over there shortly, although if King Ralph as only just made it there then it could be a year or two, unless of course it's too american. I always thought KR was a brit movie with a american lead to sell it over here, like A Fish Called Wanda. Just took a run over to Miami and found Frontier, Elite II, It certainly beats the c**p out of Civilization, which has been my main stay of eating time. After fairly intense trading (would you believe a 25hr session), I have maxed out my ship on Earth 8 missiles, shields, ecm etc. and am now ready to set out into the galaxy, I also found quite a few English bars in the next town up (Lauderdale), so I've stopped looking for guinness, a few of those puts hair on the back of eyes. Ah well back to bud.
