Looking forward to your reply ;-)))))) Regards Mark Cobber wrote: OK smartass, show me the pictures of a commie on the moon holding up a hammer and sickle flag up and hitting a golf ball and I will kiss your ass in Macy's window. Now go back to your pussy weenie-ass centimeters and I will go back to my massive, manly inches and kick your metric asses every time. The fact is it does not matter what unit you use to measure the distance from point A to point B. All we would be doing by going metric is making it easier for the EU to rip off American innovation and call it their own. The dumb-ass Limeys fell for that metric crap and look what happened to them. And need I even mention Canada? Look what happened when we send that Mars lander to the moon. Everything was working great until some metric-ized genius decided to use the "superior" metric system and look what happened. It takes real brains to figure out eights and sixteenths, the metric system makes you dull and sloven ly.
