I watch a lot of British documentaries, and I guess some of them are also New Zealand, Australian, and South African. And it seems like they all use metric, whether it's meters, kilometers, or kilograms, or Celsius, etc. Usually leaves me pretty lost, and wondered how everyone else copes. I guess if you're someone who has done any kind of drug use, though, you at least know about kilos, huh. And I don't mean "you" literally, of course, when it comes to drugs.

Malapropismic Depository Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Can you all imagine the change to the NFL, when they change from yards to meters ? How many meters for a 1st Down ? How many meters equals a 1000 yard season ? Do you have to make it exact, right on the decimal, for fairness, in rating players with historical 1000 yards rushers ? etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 True fact - During the French Revolution, they also tried to arrange time by the metric system - ten hours in a day, 100 minutes in an hour... It was the only part of the metric system that didn't take because it got too much resistance from clock-makers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, you just put an asterisk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I get in the lot, I'll take the first spot I see, I don't care if I'm on the other side of the parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video was made because John Cusack wanted to use the song for Grosse Point Blank. I'd guess its a parody of the movie (in which Cusack plays an assassin returning to his hometown for a 10yr HS reunion). That album btw was the first one I ever bought on cassette. Probably wore that tape out in the late 80s and early 90s.. I was lucky to see them live in 98 for WVUs free FallFest (They Might Be Giants also that year). Sponge and De La Soul played the year before.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
