i would like to take the credit for showing xellos this article...he cant really deny this either, because i can always blackmail him...

but yeah...this is a hilarious article...i personally wouldnt mind if britain took over, except that it kinda blows my plan for becoming president of this fucked up place and setting it right

or hey...i could always move to avila (in spain...im in love with that place)

If I remember correctly, America already tried switching to the metric system. Too many dumb and ignorant were too lazy to bother with it though.

[squirrelboy]

you're right...i think there was a oint where the US did try to change to metric...too bad the country is full of idiots

IRT YK: i could always move to avila (in spain...im in love with that place)

^__^ That's great


WRT metric system: America's failure to switch to it cost a lot, NASA fubared a Mars probe expensive as hell because of mixing metric and the other system in the software -_- . I think the probe was supposed to maintain speed for x miles, but got the number in kilometers, or something like that.

I didn't realize that, as far as NASA goes. However I do agree we should go metric. I mean some of the stuff already is, just we need to make it standard.

Yup, YK sent it to me.

Great article, I agree with everything except for baseball which I enjoy.

America truly is the disease of Earth.

There was also that 2.5 BILLION dollr aircraft that America funded. It could get from London to Australia in 2 and a half hours instead of 23!

And what did they do? Flew it a little over the Atlantic, crashed it into the ocean, and left it.
2 Billion dollars wasted when they could have done so much else with it.
