Run-of-the-Mill Wiki:About

Welcome to the Run-of-the-Mill Wiki, which is going to be a data-base.

The goal of the project is to collect data like weight, size, (bulk) density, times and prices of ordinary and less ordinary (and once ordinary) things, so that you can find answers to questions like:
 * How many grams are one cup of salt?
 * Is a bar in a medieval fantasy game an anachronism?
 * How long did a medieval hand crafter need to create a belt?
 * If I add a pair of gloves to my suitcase, which weights 19.9 kg, am I over or under the airline's limit of 20?
 * How thick is a sheet of paper?
 * What is the nutritional value of an egg?
 * How much meat would an ancient Roman citizen get for 1 l of olive oil?

Please help us answer questions like these!
