	Ton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The word ton or tonne is derived from the Old English tunne, and ultimately from the Old French tonne, and referred originally to a large cask with a capacity of 252 wine gallons, which holds approximately 2100 pounds of water.
		As a displacement ton the long ton is normally measured as the mass of 35 cubic feet of sea water.
		The water ton was formerly used in Great Britain and equal to 224 imperial gallons (the volume occupied by a mass of one long ton under the conditions which define the imperial gallon).

	Short ton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The short ton is a unit of mass equal to 2000 lb (exactly 907.18474 kg).
		In the United States it is often called simply "ton" without distinguishing it from the metric ton (or tonne) and the long ton —rather, the other two are specifically noted.
		Both long and short tons are defined as 20 hundredweights, but a hundredweight is 112 pounds (which is equal to 8 stone) in the Imperial system (long or gross hundredweight) and 100 pounds in the US system (short or net hundredweight).

		The first press mention I've ever found about Two Ton was in the January 1941 issue of the jazz journal Down Beat, which described him as a "pianist and jive singer at WJJD and WIND, who owns virtually every record the Duke Ellington band has made.
		The liner notes for Baker's 1972 LP state, "'Satin Doll' was written and taught to Two Ton by Duke Ellington at a gathering at Two Ton's home one evening almost twenty years ago [the tune was indeed written in 1953].
		Perhaps unsure of himself as a piano soloist at that stage of his life, Ellington invited stride master Brooks Kerr and Two Ton Baker to the stage to play examples of the music he was describing.

	Ton's Interdependent thoughts
		My brother in law works with 1st Broadband, a company that sets up wireless broadband internet infrastructures in rural communities where the big telco's are unlikely to provide wired infrastructure any time soon.
		And after all, if broadband is available in the countryside, it might even be possible someday to start living 'outside' and still enjoy all the connectivity I'm used to here in the city.
		I am on the local committee in my home town organising all the events, and for me it is sort of the busiest and funniest day of the year.
