Gee, whatta neato page! It starts off listing all the
afflictions that our society has been beset with due to the metric
system. I'm not sure I would include Jerry Springer on that list,

computers out of to create and post such intellectual material? Wooden
gears? They must be good though; they claim Linux and the GNU project
to their credit.
