Just admit metrics is superior.

I'll admit it's boring.
 

Yes.
 

Have I tried to sell you guys on my idea to change the foot/gallon to fit metric?

1 Gallon should be 4 liters, and 1 inch be 2.5 cm exactly. It's off by ~6 and 3% respectively. But idk. We should do it! To hell with over-complicating things.

And this is what makes it boring.

That said, your idea for a Metric Inch isn't new: the Soviets used it in computer manufacturing, and the idea of a 'Metric Foot' of 30cm is likewise commonly used here to produce dual 12"/30cm rulers.
 

 
What's boring?

It may not be new, but my idea is the best. 2.5 per inch is easier to think about, and is more round. Everyone loves curves. 2.5 cms per inch, or lordy 40 inches per meter. So simple. a 4/10 ratio. Just like our forefathers envisioned. The Imperial system was made to work with FRACTIONS. Damnit people.

FRACTIONS. They are the gifts we were given by god. Y'all need jesus. I swear.

(oh, and I didn't know about the Soviets implementation. Thanks for the link )

Hold your horses, it would help if the US actually used the imperial gallon as the US gallon is just over 3¾ litres whereas the imperial gallon is just over 4½ litres.
 

This man uses fractions.

And huh. Why would you do that. Let's just split the difference and make a gallon a round 4 liters. Agree?

Fractions make the world go round.

I would agree, but just like the real world my boss doesn't agree with rounding up my salary

As a computer person, real numbers are a pain in the ass, all things must be forced to integers, regardless of the damage this would inflict on the universe.

I'm gay that you avoid calling people a bunch of twigs.

I'd have to call them a bundle of sticks. 

 

Albeit, the term "fag" goes back 2,000 years to the Roman empire to refer to the Aristocratic elite who like, wore togas, were very pale skinned and such since they never worked outside and were generally considered "wimps".

 

 

So, fag. 

 

The oldest insult for queerosexuals in existence.

Remember, it's only gay if you take it up the butt.

[Manoka]

It's only gay if you're attracted to them. 

 

You can have an unlimited amount of butt sex with other men, just so long as you aren't attracted to men, and still be straight.
