Yeah Marie, I hate metric. I always have to convert it in my head first. OK smartie pants: I bet you don't know how many kilos you weigh, or what your bra size is in centimeters. My chaeto-balls/block was 69 x 30 x 30 centimeters.

Metric just makes more sense to me. Inches and cm I can more or less interchange. Although I'm not telling you what my bra size is in cup OR cm!
![]() Lbs and kg, again no problem, miles and km, no worries, mostly on account that these are linearly proportional (ie., multiply one number by another number) C and F though is just messed messed messed up. 9/5 of one and then add or subtract a 32 or.. forget that. It's just different enough that my little brain shuts off. At least with Metric the definition points were things that you could of identify with (boiling point of water, freezing point of water, etc.) and not just what some king a few hundred years ago decreed as hot or cold or whatever length his foot was. ![]() Anyhow just razzing, sorry man. ![]() PS. I have no doubt I would love living there!

I agree. The metric system makes much more sense, as well as being much easier to multiply and divide. I still think old school though when it comes to temperature and distances. All my controllers and thermometers are set to Fahrenheit.
