Dear Han, Last night I happened to see a short segment of the cartoon series from the USA called 'The Simpsons'. At one point the father, Homer Simpson, was shown at a drinking party at the 'Stonecutters Lodge' while they sang of their achievements. One line of the proudly boastful song claimed that one of their achievements was stopping the metric system in the USA. ****************************************************** Who controls the British Crown? Who keeps the Metric System down? We do! We do! Who keeps Atlantis off the maps? Who keeps the Martians under wraps? We do! We do! Who holds back the electric car? Who makes Steve Guttenberg, a star? We do! We do! Who robs cave fish of their sight? Who rigs every Oscar night? We do! We do!
