[edit] Aas

Aas (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Suspected hoax, I find it very hard to believe that they could measure anything so small in the 17th century. Used in trading bulbs? You'd need about 50,000+ Aas for a single bulb.

  • How were they supposed to measure the weight of a bulb to the nearest .0018g in the 17th century? This is smaller than the weight of a single grain of sand.
  • Even if they could, why would they need to?
  • Can't find anything on Google for Aas or Aasen in context.

  • Delete It's a load of rubbish put into a disambig page months and months ago by an IP [1]. Since then well meaning editors have carried it over to its own article. The asserted plural seems to give it away as being a joke. I'm about 9/10th of the way to a speedy under WP:CSD#G1. Pedro :  Chat  11:25, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete People have weighed carats (0.2g), or approximately 3 grains since the dawn of time. I think it's a hoax trying using As (coin) and the tulip bubble to create confusion--victor falk 12:05, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete This article is most definitely a hoax. Google does not show up anything in context with this article and it is impossible to verify the contents of this article as well. The lack of reliable sources is also a major concern here. --Siva1979Talk to me 13:41, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
