    Yeah, chart American made… lol. Three litres in a two litre bottle? Sprinting at 25k an hour? that’s like fucking superhuman…

    Why the fuck is there anywhere that doesn’t use the metric system yet? Feet, inches and yards seem so medieval England.

      I don’t know why we didn’t start out that way, but now that we have used the English system for so long, it’s hard to switch exactly because of this; it’s not necessarily the conversions that get in the way, but tying the metric values to reference points.
