My fetus is apparently a fruit. I guess to give people an idea of how big the embryo/fetus is during pregnancy, ‘they’ compare it to the size of fruit which is something that everyone can pretty much relate to. However, are we talking organic or non-organic fruit. Because the non organic stuff is larger.
As a carpenter, I think I’d like to make my own list with items that are much more standardized. And while not everyone will know the size of a 3/8” nylon nut, it works for me.
Weeks 3-4 – The thickness of a sawblade
Week 5 – The head of a 12d nail
Week 6 – 5” Caster bearing
Week 7 – The head of a 3/8” carriage bolt
Week 8 – Foam disposable ear plug
Week 9 – 1” wooden furniture dowel
Week 10 – ¼” Fender washer
Week 11 – #20 joining biscuit
Week 12 – 2” spring clamp
Week 13 – 9/16” deep throated socket
Week 14 – 3” C-clamp
Week 15 – 25’ tape measure
Week 16 – Chalk line
Week 17 – 14.4v DeWalt Battery
Week 18 – Safety goggles
Week 19 – 1qt containter of minwax wood stain
Week 20 – Speed Square
Week 21-24 – Porter Cable 8” Dual Action orbital palm sander
Week 25-28 – 7 ¼” circular saw
Week 29-32 – Milwaukee Hammer Drill
Week 33-36 – bench grinder
Week 37-delivery – 3 gallons of latex paint
Then again, maybe it easier to imagine fruit inside a uterus rather than power tools.
Three gallons of laytex paint??????? What a fabu list!!!
ReplyDeleteSoooo much better than fruit!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think the list probably needs revising. The safety glasses while correct in size does not equal the weight. And 3 gallons might be a bit too much for week 37+.
