It's 1260 foot/pounds people! How hard is that?

If you weight 165lbs. the rope should be 7 1/2 feet long to properly hang you. If you're 240lbs. then the rope is just over 5 feet long. Put the big guy on the little guy's rope and the big guy's head is gonna roll across the floor before it's all over with.

Sheesh! Don't they know simple math in Iraq?

Sorry man. We're under a lot of pressure here.

Update:

I guess the proper force is 1000 foot/pounds now. Or you can always use The Official Table of Drops.

They misplaced the decimal when they converted to kg/m.

Lethal injection is so much better. If I ever get the death penalty, I will definitly opt for lethal injection.

The old numbers would have put my rope length very close to my height. :shock:
