When SoulSlam was young, grade-school-like, I can remember the teacher in 3rd(?) grade introducing us to the metric system. SoulSlam was not happy. Too confusing. I don't care if it's a base 10 system of measures. I like the fact that a foot is 12 inches and a yard is 36 inches, blah, blah, blah. So SoulSlam asked a simple question:
"Teacher, why do we need to learn the metric system?"
"Because if we don't, we won't be able to participate in the world economy and we will all suffer."
"Uhhhh, we are the world economy. Shouldn't you know that? You're a teacher!"
Needless to say a letter came home addressed to my parents. Still not using the metric system though, are we?
