Accurate online ruler?

Hey everybody,

I can’t find a ruler anywhere around the house so I got a piece of paper, wrapped it around my pecker (to measure girth), and marked it off. I searched for an online ruler and found this:

I this accurate? Can anyone compare it to an actual ruler?

I haven’t measured in months and I’m showing some substantial gains if that ruler is correct!

Just checked that online ruler is way off, and I’m checking it in FireFox.

It’s around 2-3 mm off per inch.

That’s what I thought. I thought I was hallucinating when I measured myself on that thing.

Does anyone know of an accurate online ruler?

These are rulers you can print off in PDF format.

Hope they help.

If someone in this forum tells you that it is accurate, then, presumably they measured it on their own monitor and it is then accurate on their monitor with their resolution settings. Such an answer would have nothing to do with your monitor or settings.

If you’re asking this question, then one would assume that you don’t have enough computer knowledge (it gets technical) to ensure that your computer has the correct settings and based on your question, as pointed out above, I wouldn’t accept another person’s answer which says that it is accurate, as conditions vary.

Furthermore, even with the correct settings, the best you can hope for is ‘nearly accurate’.

This would indeed be accurate, due to the nature of printing technology.

Thanks mansun2008. Unfortunately I do not have a printer right now.

395Man, how do I know if I have the correct settings on my computer? I checked my monitor resolution and went to a site online that displays what resolution you’re using and it matched my own. I can’t think of what else I would have to do.

Even if you do have the correct settings, due to inconsistencies in manufacturer’s standards, you can’t count on the ruler being perfect.

Two suggestions: go to the library and print the ruler. Or, even better, while you’re out, go to Target and buy a ruler or sewing tape measure.

Believe me, if it was that easy I would have done that by now. Target stores are on another continent and everything around me is closed. I wouldn’t have asked this question otherwise.

An 8 1/2” x 11” piece of paper really is 8 1/2” wide. Place it against your online ruler and divide 8.5 by the measured size. This will yield a number which you can then multiply by any measurement you make against the online ruler.
