Emperor's New Groove was pretty awesome.

Smaller. Maybe non-metric is the smart units; metric is the stupid units for people who can't do fractions.
I always thought the non-meteric was the better system and we are stupid for using meteric, because America is smart. I just learned recently that America is about the only country that uses the NON-meteric system.

Metric makes a lot more sense, but we're stubborn because we're used to imperial measures except for certain things like 2 liter bottles of soda. Doesn't England still use miles per hour for vehicle speeds though?

If you work out and your a 50+ year old woman and you want to stay in shapethen that's fine. But don't go out in public wearing yoga pants and a alter top and tanning like your 20 years old. No one wants to look at you. I'm 37 and yes i do work out but I know that i need to keep my shirt on. I'm not in my 20's and no one wants to see a flabby gut.

Obviously they're comfortable with themselves. If you don't want to look, then don't look. As long as they're not indecent, then it's their business. *shrug*

No, bullshit!

If you ever have to take a precise measurement of something, it's so much easier to do it in mm than to count out fractions of an inch. Also depends on the ruler or tape measure that you're using. Some break it into 16th, some into 32nds. And on whichever, it might not be numbered the way you'd like. My favorite tape measure has 32nd lines but each 16th is numbered. It makes it easy to measure something right down to the 32nd. But go out and try and find a tape measure like that, it's not easy.

And as far as tools go... wrenches, sockets, drill bits... metric just makes everything easier. I'm smart enough to know how fractions work, but metric is still easier.
