[USMA:34674] CNN and the giant squid.

[Remek Kocz]

This morning's Headline News segment on the giant squid found by the Japanese was reported (surprisingly) in metric first and followed by USC equivalents.  The lengths of the squid and its tentacles were given in meters, as well as the depth at which it has been found.  Is this unusual for CNN or do they have a habit of reporting scientific or foreign news in metric?
