What is this Metric? (Tongue in Cheek). I remember a very concerted push to convert over to Metric in the U.S. It failed miserably.....

... or simply realize that the metric system is based on the number 10 - 10 fingers, 10 toes, 10 meters - 1 meter - 100 centimeters - 1 centimeter is 10 millimeters. Ten all over the place. Simple, easy and not full of 67/8, 33/4ths etc. gosh how That system totally makes no sense. ;-D *irony bigtime plzkthanx!*

were are half imperial half metric. we use miles and pints, and measure in pounds but the government made it illegal and attempted to bring metric in. people wrote in metric with the imperial at the side and they eventually gave up just this year in fact. I still dont understand litres and ml. I measure small things in centimetres but use feet from 30cm onwards. I prefer metres to yards though but never kilometres. I use celcius for small temperatures because it makes it sound colder and fareinhight for big because it sounds hotter :)
