May be you know the German saying : "glücklich als Gott in Frankreich" (happy as God in France) [we in France we say "heureux comme un poisson dans l'eau" (happy as a fish in water)... ] If God is happy in France, which is the cradle of the metric system, this means that He blesses it. Is that an argument which can be used for the promotion in SI in some parts of deep America ? Louis
