I must have missed the humour when reading the article. Or was it suppose to be funny because it was about a toilet?
What I thought odd was the fact that this guy drove from Seattle to Vancouver just to check out a Home Depot and to see if it was metric or not. This guy seems to follow the same pattern as people from the BWMA. They go looking for remnant usage of FFU in metric countries and then mock metric supporter's claims of a country like Canada who is suppose to be fully metric, but still uses FFU. People who think the UK or Australia, or others are fully metric and told to go to these countries and speak to the people on the street and if one does, one will find FFU being used. By the fact that this guy uses the word imperial to describe FFU makes me suspect he has "ties" with the BWMA or one of its sister organisations.
