Kudos to local, state, and federal law enforcement in western
North Carolina...  Not only for capturing (one of) the most wanted
fugitive(s) in the USA, but also for giving him a metric mugshot :)

Centimeters (modulo 100) on the left, inches on the right.  This is
the first time I've seen one of these (not that I look at mug shots
often, though).  Wonder if this is becoming more prevalent...?


I've seen it a lot, even on some TV cop shows.

P.S.  Today I took my 17 year old to the clinic (Kaiser Permanente) - he had an eye infection.  The nurse asked his weight.  I replied, "I only know it in kilograms, it's about 68."  She said, "That's fine" without another word.
