How pirates stole the metric system from America - photos

There are two types of countries, those who use the metric system and one who put a man on the moon!

Obviously your nationalism is clouding your understanding of measurement systems. I recommend you read my treatise on the subject here...

A glimmer of hope

and pay special attention to the following paragraph...

Another argument to avoid is the "we put a man on the moon using..." farce. Everything was built using the measurement system in force at the time. The ancient Egyptians built the pyramids using the cubit (and had problems with multiple, competing definitions) but that's not an argument for returning to their system. If you doubt me, try working a problem using Egyptian fractions. Building achievements are the product of the genius of their designers and fabricators, not the markings on their rulers, scales and buckets. The fact that you managed to build a corral for your dinosaur using the inferial* system is not a valid argument against the use of the metric system.
