    • Yes, and while were at it, why don't we just go ahead and change some other inconsistencies. Why do we not get a global money system, or language, or religion? And, why is time allowed to be in such strange increments (60 seconds in a minute, WTF), why wouldn't we just make the second a little longer or shorter and then make it all in 10's (100 sec. in a minute, 10 hours in a day)? This would sure help me add up time for my timesheet.

    • Give me a break, focsa. This article is pointless and honestly the costs to switch over would be immense. Every street sign, every map, everything is written in miles, pounds, etc.

      Quit putting on pointless stories.

      All cars have speedometers in both metric and the other asinine measure.

      Metric is to humanism as Pounds, Feet, and Inches are to IslamoJudeoChristianity.
