    Default stupid google tricks

    Not sure if you guys know about this but Google will give you instantly calculated money conversions from just about anything to just about anything else using current exchange rates. You can either spell out the entire monetary unit (us dollars, indian rupees) or you can use abbreviations (such as USD, GBP, etc).

    Go to Google and type what you want into the search box. Here's some examples:
    • 35.90 british pounds in us dollars
    • 14 euros in USD
    • 19 GBP in euros
    • 68.75 USD in NZD

    You can even convert complex units such as:
    • 3.23 USD per gallon in british pounds per liter
    • 19548 furlongs per fortnight in miles per hour

    It will also do direct unit conversions such as:
    • ounces per pound
    • fluid ounces per gallon
    • square meters per hectare

    I use this feature of google all the time when I'm looking at stuff on german/british auction sites and it might come in handy for you guys.
