Can the 2GB iPod Nano really hold exactly 500 songs or are they a bunch of cheaters?
Do the math, 2GB divided by 500 gives roughly 4 MB, which is basically a normal size for a song that is 4 minutes long ripped at 192kbps which is a good quality. Then yes, a 2GB iPod Nano can hold 500 songs each of 4 MB in size.

Oh please, by that crazy logic 500 bananas divided up between two gorillas, averaging 332 lbs. eating at a rate of 1.2 bananas per minute would then have to produce 17.67 lbs. of apeshit, each, once the banana supply is exhausted.

Not very likely

Fast? First time someone said that to me. I frequently get told Dutch is "ugly", "inaudible" and "confusing", but not fast.

Italian and Spanish are fast. I wouldn't rate Dutch in that group myself...
I agree with Jack, it's easy to understand if you're reading it. Spoken is totally different. The thing that bothers me is that there are no "solid" words. There are no words, it's like flowing or something. Maybe it's the Hemp. :D

I talked to one kid today who can't even fit 200 songs on his. That's why I'm asking.

When did they scrap basic mathematics from the meteorology educational programme?
There is no such thing as basic mathematics in the meteorology program. I only know how to do integration by parts and different sort of sequences, as well as knowing what a mesoscale convective system is.

I'm loving how this Fall is working out for us. Three feet of snow blanketed Buffalo in the middle of October, three feet of snow is expected over Denver at the moment, and 60 mph winds are propelling a fire to devestating effect in Southern California. Now all we need to do is continue melting the polar ice caps and we'll have a grand old time come 2050 or so. Forza nature.

Did you as that kid how big is each song he is trying to load?
Wouldn't that take a while..

Normal size; he listens to the same stuff I do basically. That's why I'm just wondering, unless he has pictures uploaded and couldn't figure it out.

Oh my bad. It sounded entirely plausible in my head
