Thread going off topic here but I have to admit I still don't really comprehend metric measures whether in distances or weights, and I wish everybody would just stick to good old Imperial Measures. If I really need to understand something that's expressed in metric, I always end up looking up the tables to convert metres to yards or kilogrammes to pounds or whatever.

Ditto Alex. When driving in Canada I look at the number of kilometers we have left to go and then down at my analog speedometer with both miles and klicks and convert it.

Ah, it's all in freakin' EUROS now. No more needin' a pfennig in your wallet for luck.

Funny stuff. Certainly becoming more and more unmentionable in my house...
