So UK as half ass backwards

Well anyone who still uses those measurements are retarded as metric is obviously more accurate but really in the UK, imperial is only used when working on or with old equipment or when we refer to distance via miles. Other than that imperial isn't really used at all.

The Nautic Mile is not as retarded. One minute of arc of latitude at the meridian. At least it is not completely arbitrary.

And one for all the farcebook idiots.......



Grumpy cat speaks! And this is what we learned:

She speaks in the voice of an adorable little girl.
Her favorite foods are tuna and coffee cake.
She's afraid of heights and jumping.
She hates New York and the the Today Show.
She does not like to be called Grumpy Cat because she is not grumpy. She prefers her original name of Tardar Sauce.

I think the aviation industry still uses imperial all over the world. When I learnt to fly here it was the first time I'd ever have to use gallons/miles/feet. Such a retarded system.

True dat.
