Why did the chicken cross the road?
Now, can someone please tell this little Euro here, how many litres is a gallon?

Another funny thing, herein, selling gas with below 95 octane is illegal (except for tractors and suchlike)

Unless the US has some really whacked out gallons, then I thought it was 1 gallon = 4.54609 litres

Indeed. I do believe that many US measurements are somewhat smaller than their normal counterparts.

To get on the other side?

To dodge cars?

To fry eggs on the hot asphalt?

Why did the chicken cross the road?
Commander Data:
The question should be how the chicken went accross the road, but i fail to see why the chicken would have a logical reason to want to get to the other side, and the question itself is also strange because a chicken is not setient and therefore the question of 'why' becomes a moot point. Furthermore, blah blah blah blah blah blah (and so on)

Commander Worf:
This chicken.....is it tasty?

Singh (me):
Umm......wouldn't it have been eaten by the stray dogs much earlier O_O

Terran Command:
We dont have time for chickens pilots, so get back to blowing those shivans to hell!

Kane:

The chicken's views on crossing the road do not coincide with ours, and that makes it dangerous. Silence the chicken.

Sure, but if you put in:
http://www.google.com/search?q=imperial+gallon+to+litre&btnG=Google+Search
Then it's different. So not only are the US still using imperial, they're not even using proper imperial? Bloody hell.
EDIT: Hmm... Check this out. It hurts my head, that's for sure:

I demand to return to the Medieval system, whereby miles were different lengths even in different parts of England.

I should have a table somewhere with the different measurements on, but I'm damned if I can find it.

Would anyone object if I simply sat in a corner and started to jibber?

Mr. Morden: Yes, but what does he want?

Londo: To get to the other side. But on the days of the old republic, thousands of chickens would cross hundreds of roads at our slightest whim!
