   Tons?

   Tonnes are metric tons (also known as long tons), or 2,240 pounds. They are equal to 1,000 kilograms. Metric is SO much easier – everything’s in increments of 10!

   Simple answer:

   1 tonne = 1.10231131 tons
   or
   1 ton = 0,907184741 tonnes

   Roughly 4 per pound, so 8,000 per ton. Close to 240 billion bananas. If the six billion people on the planet share equally, that is only 40 bananas per person per year., less than one a week.

   But other countries grow them too, and a lot of people don’t eat any,, and some are used in pies and such, and… uh…

   How about that John Green, autographing 152,000 books.
   12 hours a day for thirty days, that’s 360 hours spent signing 152,000 books, or for each book, that works out to…uh…

   120,000,000 years old, the teeth are 2 inches long, and..oh forget it, I’m going to Rose Is Rose.

   Why “tonnes” instead of “megagrams” ?

   I own one of those John Green autographed books.

   It’s not as impressive as it sounds…his signature is basically “J Scribble.”

    Haven’t read the book, but this signing labor suggests he’s an idiot, therefore I’ll skip the book. Just sayin’

    I looked it up on Amazon; it has a 5 star rating from 648 customer reviews. Our local library has 13 copies and all are checked out with a waiting list of 12 more people. It might not be a bad book.

    How valuable can a signed copy be when there are 152K out there. I think he would have been better off signing and numbering a thousand – he would certainly have made more money on the signed copies.

    You are ALMOST right. The long ton (20 hundredweights of 110 lb each) is not the same as the metric ton. See the conversion calculator at: www.metric-conversions.org/weight/long-tons-to-metric-tons.htm

    Didn’t John Green go bananas and suffer writer’s cramp while signing all those books?
