Top 10 reasons the (US) should convert to the Metric System (with
apologies to David Letterman)
10. People will finally understand my joke about driving
attoparsecs per nanocenturies.
9. Gas will seem cheaper at 50 cents a liter. [$1 CDN right now]
8. Being 22 kilos overweight does not sound as bad as 50 lbs.
7. Defense will be easier if the offense has to drive 10 meters for
a first down.
6. Arizona summers will not seem as bad when its only 40 degrees
outside.
5. Its not "metric", its "Digital"! [But not Binary]
4. Imagine all the exciting math you will do converting your
favorite recipes to milliliters.
3. Less fractions to deal with like, "Do I need a five eighths
socket or a nine sixteenths to loosen this nut?"
2. The boy band 98º will not be as popular calling themselves 36.7º.
1. Half a liter is more than a pint, which means, MORE BEER FOR
EVERYBODY!
