[USMA:36519] Yet another case of news media metric confusion

[Mike Millet]

Compare this story http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2006/04/08/bodies-field060408.html with the corresponding MSNBC story

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12224529/

The Canadian story gives the distance as 200 meters and the MSNBC one as 200 yards :).

Yards? Meters? Meters? Yards? In some ways I pity MSNBC but it's still annoying :).

I apologize for the stories being kind of grim but it brings the point across rather well.
