Quote Of The Day: Metric System

"The metric system is the tool of the devil! My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it."
Abe Simpson

Me?

I think in pounds. Never quite got metricky.

Though thinking in kilometres isn't so bad, I still prefer miles. Simply, when I see "15 miles to next exit" I know it translates into about 15 minutes.

    I don't mind the metric system... in terms of weights and distance (I have a little trouble with km per liter, however), it is temperatures which drive me nuts. Unless you are into decimals, Celsius (I preferred centigrade) is not accurate enough. Also, 25 just doesn't sound comfortable even though it is the same as 76-77.

    I've gotten used to temperature readings.

    25 is PERFECT for me. Anything beyond that is Africa and too hot.
