What good about Canada? How about were not American? Canadian are smarter than American, Friendlier than Brits and less Hillbilly than the Australian. (Even though I loves those guys!)

Congratulations, you pretty much summed up Canada in a nut shell. Image IPB

I have to say, you are not making a strong case for our superior grammar though.

I can understand that. I mean, the metric system is certainly the tool of the devil, requiring so much memorization and math to convert.

1 mile = 1760 yards = 5280 feet = 63,360 inches
1 km = 10 hm = 100 dam = 1000 m = 10,000 dm = 100,000 cm = 1,000,000 mm

1 gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints
1 L = 10 dL = 100 cL = 1000mL

1 ton = 2000 pounds = 16,000 ounces
1 kg = 10hg = 100 dag = 1000 g = 10,000 dg = 100,000 = cg = 1,000,000 mg

32 degrees - 212 degrees Fahrenheit
0 degrees - 100 degrees Celsius

that said, I have a better frame of reference for Imperial units for height and weight.

1 You live on the American continent so you are an american, just not a US citizen.
2 If you're so smart why aren't all the innovations coming from canada?

I agree with Stanley. Metric is weird as heck. How can 0 = 32? Zero can only equal zero!

I reminded of the base 10 swatch form the 90s, that never took off. Sure base 10 systems make sense, but people are stubborn and hate to change. In fact us Americans are so stubborn, we have other places using this convoluted system that used to use the metric system.

Am I the only one that thinks we should give this system another go and completely switch to the dark side? The price of gas will go down... if you don't think about it.

i predict a big upset when koscheck and st. pierre meet in the octagon. i predict a victory for koscheck, and all the french-canadians crying about it afterward. i don't really like josh koscheck, though, and it's due to personal reasons. i know the knob in real life.

I hate to provoke a Volus but 1 ton = 2000 pounds = 32,000 ounces. :)

I live in the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia where there are more German-Canadians than French-Canadians and the temperature gets up around 35 degrees celsius in the summer.



Some great things about Canada are poutine, hockey, basketball, Tim Hortons, the invention of the telephone, and BioWare.
