hehe cool

most people don't know that one off hand...

but yea for the average person it probably makes no difference but from a technological standpoint it poses a lot of problems. you'd be surprised how many engineering failures were due to improper units being used/assumed. it makes quite a difference when one person is thinking in lbs and the other in newtons... simple mistake on paper but massive structural failure and fatalities in the real world.

sadly the US is very unlikely to ever adopt the metric system like the rest of the world. you'd think americans would like hearing their weight in kilograms instead.. it's such a smaller number!
