So, you're a fan of the metric system, eh? I live in Canada and we have to deal with the metric system everyday. But the system isn't perfect. Lets face it, how tall are you? How tall am I? I'm 6 ft tall, or am I 1 meter and some odd centimeters (70 or something, I don't even know). The foot and inch might be strange beasts, but they measure lengths that are reasonable. They should have taken the foot and divided it into 10 instead of 12, that would be a useful metric system. – Neil
