I found this message about Australia and the crazy answer of an American
following. I wonder where the Bible says that ifp was ordained by God.
I know that the Pyramidologists thought so too. They used passages about
weiging and measuring in the Bible where Jewisg units were mentioned by
name. They claimed that Imperial is directly derived from the biblical
units, and so they misconstrued a condemnation of dishonest weighing and
measuring into a condemnation of the metric system.
I would ask them: Where does the Bible mention the BTU, the Fahrenheit
scale, the slinch and the slug?
At present it is impossible to answer posts at Google, you cannot counter
the balderdash spouted there,

Let's see if I can make all you northerners jealous.
Here in Australia it's just coming into summer. Temps in the High 90's for
all you Americans that haven't learned the metric system yet. Average about
12 days of rain a year (way over that this year though). Winter temps rarely
drop below 0c (32f). And outside town there is NO SPEED LIMIT!!!! It's time
to go to work (which is 27 km outside of town) and I hear my
Blackbird calling my name. (I think I finally got it clean after that cow
pie incident)

PS Oh yeah forgot to mention I was raised in Minnesota. (couldn't say grew
up in Minnesota cause I haven't grown up yet.)
Hmmm...High temps in the 90's...No speed limit...Low average
rainfall....METRIC SYSTEM!?! NO WAY FELLA! I'm an American dammit and if it
ain't measured the way God intended, I don't wanna have anything to do with
it! (God created man, man has 2 feet, we use the "foot" as a measure of
length THEREFORE AND VERILY AND LO AND BEHOLD, the metric system is ungodly)
Uh oh, I just thought of something...Quick, someone tell me what 650 cubic
centimeters is equal to in inches!
(I would say, YOU convert your stuff!!!)
