As far as I am concerned there's only two countries in the world the US and every where else. So, by my logic, half of the countries of the world use the imperial system. So :P Blatant American Exceptionalism strikes again! It's almost as bad as religious fundamentalism.... almost. |

And they will never live that down. if someone is on your doorstep demanding you give everything to to them, do you entertain that notion?(appeasement) America doesn't. We laugh in the uppity little bastard's face and slam the door, or wait until he steps just enough out of line to justify taking him down hard. Ok, gotta respond to that one, THEN I'll let it go.
4 words. US appeasement of Israel.
Ok, I'm done. No more. |

Heathen Bastard wrote:knew I should have left that line in there
the original version read the same, except for one difference
"America doesn't(current president notwithstanding)"
figured it would set off some kind of political firestorm, and it is waaay to early in the morning for that. I'll respond to this in a new thread in the locker room since this is an off topic subject for this thread. |

Iron Wolf Saber wrote:Because once upon a time a foot used to be a foot's length, in particular the king of england's. His thumb an Inch, his stride a yard, so on and so forth. When you got a new king however all the previous measurements had to be redone and people did not like this system at all. So the smart people who where between two kingdoms wanted to have a unit of measurement that would not change between two kings of two nations or generations.
So ledgend goes two scientist got a stick of iron, made two marks and between the two marks made 10 perfect marks and made those into perfect 10 sections of each as well. Thus a meter was born! The stick was then 'weigthed' and thus a kilogram, then the iron was smelted into a bowl and the water it contained was a liter! Kings had HUGE feet.
Very interesting story IWS, thanks for that.
EDIT: It seems odd though, I would think that a kilogram of steel would be mush less than a liter when me;ted down... |

Well done, sir. I started a thread in the locker room to continue this conversation so that it does not further interfere with this thread. Please look there to comment further. |
