Two great ideas whose time will never come. OK, one. Here's a story sure to knock Benghazi out of the headlines for the rest of the day: Lincoln Chafee has decided to drop out of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. We're pretty sure he simply recognized Hillary Clinton had kicked everyone's ass in her Benghazi testimony Thursday, including his. Larry Lessig better watch his six.
To me the number 100 screams hot, where 37 doesn't seem high enough to be concerned. It's not even over 50! That part makes less sense to me than all of the logical sanity of the rest of metric measurements.
Also, the difference between normal body temperature and severely fevered is just way too small. Where else is .86 something to be seriously concerned about?
Always relate to stuff you know and make a game of it. I came to regular use of the metric system pretty late but adapted
Some stuff you might find useful:
Back of the pitcher's mound to the plate is (near enough) 20 metersA gridiron is (goal to goal) 110 meters long and near enough 50 m wideIn Europe normal spacing for lighting pillars in a built up area is 20 metersA short woman is 1.5 meters (5 ft)A (US) Gallon is 3¾ liters1 gram is about 15 grains1 ounce is about 30 grams1 hectare is about 2½ acres1 Square kilometer is 100 hectares and 250 acres.A square mile is 2.6 square kilometers20 mpg(US) is 11¾ liters per 100 km1 mile is 1.6 km, 1 km is 0.6 miles.Edit to amend
OthersA golf ball is about 45 grams (1.6 oz)A baseball is 150 grams (5¼ oz)An American Football is about 400 grams (14 oz)The force on your hand from 1 apple is about 1 NewtonA litre of any potable fluid is pretty much always a kilogram - very useful when cooking.
You know all those witticisms you wish you'd snapped to your parents when they said awful things at the news machine when you were growing up? Say them here. Extra points for mentioning Goldwater. (See? That just now got me two extra points.)
How are your dick jokes? Poopie jokes? Saying "butthole' is almost always funny to some of us.
If not that, there's always room for "You Know Who Else" and "All Of Them Katie" comments.
Seriously speaking, probably first, see the ridiculousness of capital-E Everything.

"Doing Math with your fingers"
Is there another Duggar we don't know about??

Actually we have both, as in having to have two sets of wrenches, SAE and metric. Capitalism, Baby!
You have solved the mystery, wrapped in an enigma!
If you own a BSA - you also have Whitworth...
