Regarding Han's quote:

> Imperialists could claim: "As Jesus did not use metric, the world should not
> use metric." 

I've heard this variation:
If God had wanted us to use the metric system, there would have been 10
disciples (instead of 12).

to which I reply:
If God had wanted us to use Ye Olde English units there would have been 5280
commandments (instead of 10).

Han also mentioned:
> ...the condemnations of false weight and measure in the Bible ...

Here is the reference for that quote (or at least the one with which I am
most familiar):

Deuteronomy 25:14a "You shall not have in your house two kinds of measures
..."
I use this to suggest that we should not have two different measuring
systems in the US or in the world.
