Sorry about that!
But isn't the Metric system an abomination in the eyes of God? After all,
the linear measure is based on human scientists gaining a true understanding
of the world and its workings. Whereas the linear measure in the Imperial
system is based on the size of a royal (and therefore blessed by God, just
ask the church of england..) foot.
I guess I'm surprised to hear you come out on the side of science and
against the will of your god. <grin>
