New triple combination

Got my new triple combination in German at church today.

This is basically a "revision"—not a full retranslation, but rather some changes to bring the text closer to the English version.

I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't take the opportunity to publish it in the new orthography, which has been valid for a couple of years now. Especially since much of the task of converting should be automatable.

Radioactive materials come in 4 convenient sizes!

Some lovely alternative interpretations of the government "ready" anti-terrorism signs. (To which I was first exposed through aajwind's userpics.)

Random thought - fuel consumptions and which units are appropriate for it

Fuel consumption in Germany is usually measured in l/100 km.

Now l = dm³ (according to at least one definition), so that reduces to 0.01 mm²...

Though "My car gets 0.07 mm²!" will probably get a response along the lines of "What you say?" ^^

(Or you could claim 0.017 nanoacre instead of 0.07 mm² if you prefer imperial measurement. And the metric equivalent of mpg [which is range, not consumption rate] would be 1/mm², perhaps? 1 mpg = 1/(2.35 mm²) or 0.43 mm^-2.)
