I tried to concentrate on the article in the link provided but I continually distracted myself by wondering how many times dose this make it that the metric system has been 'realigned' while the Imperial system has remained unchanged since its standardization by the Anglo-Saxons in 1824. Yup, I know the metric yahoos out there will all start clamoring about the lack of relativity of the Imperial system based on the length of the king's aroused sex organ but it is as relevant, if not more so, than the origins of the metric system which was originally based on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the Earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters) in 1670. Problem I have with that 'standard' is how was Frenchman Gabriel Mouton able to measure that arc? At least the length of the King's erection was a physical thing that actually had a measurable length.

What say you metric yahoos out there?

Which side are you on, Jon?
