Why doesn't the USA adopt officially the metric unit?

sounds like a medium to medium well to me

Eat a horse ... go to jail (in California at least).

I prefer cow but Fahrenheit may have eaten his horse medium well

I prefer my Buffalo done Pittsburgh.

Any mention of Australian measurements is moot because they eat Vegemite (the second most grossest thing I ever ate in my life) Down Under.

So, what was the grossest thing that you have eaten? Were you a contestant on Fear Factor?

I tried vegemite.............once. Good thing I had a beer available to wash away the taste. And speaking of beer.

When are we going to convert to metric time?

60 seconds per minute, 60 minutes per hour, 24 hours per day makes time calculations unecessarily complicated.

Twenty-four hours in a day, twenty-four beer in a case - any coincidence?

Now, some people are trying to change the standard number of beer in a case. It is like super sizing fast food! That is just plain silly and an attempt to grab more cash from our pockets.

I was told by an aussie who was visiting that A1 steak sauce was very similar to Vegemite

I think the metric system's great... however, it can become rather confusing:

A millihelen would be the amount of beauty required to launch one ship.

A microhelen would be the amount of beauty required to motivate one sailor.

A megahelen is the amount of beauty required to make the sailor think in any other terms than a one-night stand.

Also:

10^9 antics = 1 gigantic
10^9 questions = 1 giga-WHAT
2(10^3) mockingbirds = 2 kilo Mockingbird
10 millipedes = 1 centipede
10 monologues = 5 dialogues
10 rations = 1 decoration
3-1/3 tridents = 1 decadent
2^-2 mentals = 1 centimental
10^-6 fish = 1 microfiche
10^-12 boos = 1 picoboo
10^-1 mate = 1 decimate
10^9 lows = 1 gigalow

Just doesn't seem the same with inches, pounds, and gallons...

and don't get me started on the 10 hot dogs to 8 buns debacle

shoot, I just learned on the food channel there is no "beer" in "beer nuts"
