The Random, Meaningless Announcements Thread 3!

Give in to the Metric! Let reason, sense, and logic dictate your measurements and weights! Do away with foolhardiness of memorizing unit numbers that seem random and arbitrary and are too hard to memorize. Set your numbering life free of the chains and shackles of the Imperials, and embrace the warmth and comfort of the Metric!

Yeah...like I'm going to listen to a person who suffers from long term exposure to corn fumes, who now lives on the left coast in pink tofu land, who has ALSO had their mind warped by the Metric System

Ray Bradbury's most famous book would have to be renamed Centigrade 232.778.

Crazed fanatical metricians are now lobbying
to remove the word "mile" from all songs,
replacing it with "1.6 kilometer".
It just doesn't work to replace "500 miles" with "804.7 kilometers".

And they're demanding that Miles Davis
change his name to "1.6 Kilomoters Davis".

Ameristan has such a problem with funnymentalists

Sounds good to me but I think a little artistic license would have seen it rounded to centigrade 233

The Kelvinistas would disagree, since they look
down on your silly "centigrade" as perverse relativism.

K and c are the same scale, just a different starting point.

So simple....yet the Centigraditarians still can't get it right.

They still use pound notes in England, don't they? When are they switching over to kilogram notes?

Shylock must now demand 0.45 kilograms of flesh.

If that is so then why is ameristan one of the few holdouts of the re revolutionary numbering system?

Talk about getting it wrong... That's 453.592 grams of flesh

Of that is so then why is ameristan one of the few holdouts of the re revolutionary numbering system?

Our system of inches, feet, yards, furlongs, acres, chains, rods,
troy ounces, avoirdupois ounces, troy pounds, avoirdupois pounds,
grains, foot candles, drams, pints, quarts, fluid ounces, teaspoons,
tablespoons, pottles, gallons, etc is so simple.

Oh, you Froggies....slaves to excessive precision.

The world is in ever increasing unity, so its inevitable that eventually everyone will use the American system.

From Wikipedia, we have a diagram
showing how simple our system is...
