The Metric System

Early June was my pilgrimage to the Czech Republic, while being my American stereotypical self, I came to a deal that the entire USA has to follow. I was with King Zdenek, who is a representative of both the Czech Republic and most of Europe. While showing him the secret society of Geocaching we came to a conclusion that the planet, well the universe, has to come with specific commonalities to avoid both embarrassment and disaster.

English, we decided, is the language of the universe. Communism is bad. France will never win a war without help. European Gypsy's are good musicians and also good for stealing chickens. After about 900 glasses of Starobrno, I made a deal for the USA to switch to the metric system. I am sorry to those that love the heritage of the United States customary units, or maybe the English units. But a deal is a deal. I will not let down the great King Zdenek, his Surgeon General Milan, or the continent they represent.

So we have to start using the Metric system. One yard (three feet) is just over a meter. That's the length of a door knob to the floor.
