Suggestion Is this a good idea?

If SB is going to have something as useful and benificial as a "Countdown Timer," wouldn't it be at least as benificial and useful to have a metric/imperial conversion button?

So, in other words, you're saying that a metric converter would be entirely useless?

Kidding aside, it seems like it would be "useful" to some extent, but IMO such a thing on every page would unnecessarily bloat and slow down the page design and loading. Download a conversion program or bookmark a conversion site.

That's a good reason why its not a good idea.

You laugh, but while the rest is bogus, we actually use (& have have clocks set for) centihours at work. We don't call them centihours (we call 'em clicks), but that's what they are.

Why?

Because 100 clicks/hour is easier than 60 minutes/hour. Same reason as other metric measurements.

In the words of Arlo Guthrie, it is more poetic, if nothing else, to live life mile by mile than it is to live it kilometer by kilometer.
