Today (for those of you who are keeping score at home, "today" was actually yesterday for I did not add this entry to the Blog when it was written for it was written at my primary place of employment from which I cannot upload things to my Blog from) was the coldest day of the winter season with wind chills being below zero degrees Fahrenheit, which would've been like a bazillion degrees below zero Celsius...
hhhhhhmmm, that brings up an interesting point - why I great dislike the metric system...
I think as a whole the metric system is making the world a dumber place in which to live. "How can you possibly believe that to be true, great blogmeister?" you may be asking at this time. Well, it's like this, my child, the metric system does not require any math skills to use it - all one has to do is move the decimal point about. In my primary job, I need to be able to use the metric system as well as Imperial units of measure. I know that one millimeter is approximately .039 inches, I know that there are 25.4 millimeters in an inch, blah, blah, blah, and I know this all with such an ability is to be able to jot it all down without having to think about what I'm typing as I do so. I also know that 3 divided by 16 equals .1875 and that 9 divided by 32 equals .28125. How many people who are only knowledgeable in the metric system would know these two simple facts that I can pull out of my brain with such ease?
The second thing I dislike able the metric units of length is the fact that it is based on a flawed calculation of the length of the Earth from the pole to the Equator divided by a million. The actual surface of the planet is not perfectly spheroid and the was no account taken in to consideration that the big blue marble actually bulges at the middle...
Then we come to the measure of temperature. The average person through their own personal living only experiences a limit range of temperatures so why not make these as accurate as possible. From the freezing point to the boiling point of water there are 180 degrees of separation in the Fahrenheit system while there are only 100 degrees in the other system. Should what directly influences the everyday life of a human have some degree of precision?
"Well, what do you have against the gram, great Internet cult leader person?" I shall tell you, my children, and the answer will stun you with its simplicity. The answer lays in the fact that I dislike the gram because of the two reasons already given. One because it is base ten, it makes one stupid in the mysteries of the wondrous world of mathematics. Two because it is oversimplified in its range to express human interactions with the surrounding world...
In general, the metric system may be fine for those whose job requires them to think outside the realm of human experience, but for the most part, this does not apply to most humans on this planet so the metric system should be outlawed and those using should be imprisoned for no less than 20 years...
Thank you all so very much...
This is the Word of the AntiCrust presented in Imperial units...
Praise be the Word...
