Well, some of us have grown up with metric measurements, and have no "feeling" for the imperial measurements. It's kinda tough to establish exactly how deep you're diving as a "no-good euro-trash" (  ) when it's measured in feet... |
Well, you "no-good euro-trash" got my vote on this one. I was brought up on the Imperial system and I always wonders why someone would make a system like that. We divide the yard into 3 parts, then divide the feet into 12 parts then divide the inch into 16 parts (or 8 or 32 however precise you need to be). You keep your metric system and enjoy it.:rotfl:I know Rockin was only kidding but it is a weird system. Even the RAM in your computer, it isn't 1000KB it's 1024Kb.
