This is criminal as well.

Yep, to date, Duffy and Wallen and that other guy (Lib) were criminal in reporting their expenses. Throw the book at them. If it leads other places throw the book at them too. But it still didn't cost us a fraction of what Adscam did.

Lumber has been metric since before we went metric and to me yards are just a sporting measure and nothing more.

I do everything in Imperial, except when I have to calculate anything, then it's all over to metric, then back to imperial.

Kilomteres. What was wrong wiht miles. One syllable. Miels and yards developed organically, whereas meters were imposed. A kilometer has no common sense releavnce apart from the fact that it is 10^3 meters. And measuring height in centimeters? WTF? I don't think so. What's teh difference between 186 cm and 187 cm? Bugger all. Grrr.

A metre was originally 1/ten millionth of the distance from the equator to the pole, BUT they screwed it up, it's only close to that. Later it was the distance between two marks on a metal bar at a certain temperature in Paris, now it's something altogether different that only a Philadelphia lawyer can make heads or tails of. Something to do with some gas. -:)
