Yeah, we can definitely afford to just drop everything and change every sign, label, etc. in the country with absolutely no problem.

We're actually planning on doing it this Saturday afternoon along with the rest of our chores.

It's a nice little Saturday we've got planned here.

I vote yes.

/scientific thought

when I start dealing with inches and pounds and gallons, I lose touch with reality.

we already tried converting to the metric system....in the 70s or 60s... i forgot when.

it failed miserably.

there's still a few speed limit signs across the country that are in km/hr, not m/ph.

i'm sure if you googled/wiki'd for it, you'd find out exactly when this occurred.

its a slow process that is slowly permeating our lives. it doesnt appear to be but it is happening.

also below is the sattelite that had the measurement problem

quote:

wikipedia Mars Orbiter The use of two different systems was the contributing factor in the loss of the Mars Climate Orbiter in 1998. NASA specified metric units in the contract. NASA and other organizations worked in metric units but one subcontractor, Lockheed Martin, provided thruster performance data to the team in pound force seconds instead of newton seconds. The spacecraft was intended to orbit Mars at about 150 km altitude, but the incorrect data meant that it probably descended instead to about 57 km, burning up in the Martian atmosphere.

NO. Screw the metric system.
