you ever wonder why there is no 'metric' time?
 

well I sure did until just now..

seriously the euros (and Canadians) will whine about anything... even to the fucking point of 'you didn't measure that correctly'... how fucking petty can you possibly be?

it just seemed odd to me the euros didn't get there whinny hands on the 'clock' ... 100 seconds, 100 minutes, 100 hours but with really cool names like ... well, how in the fuck would I know lol!!

anyway, the reason is....... tada! the Babylonians, that's right, when those crazy bastards weren't building towers, gardens, and baggin' jews, they were fucking around with numbers... AND they used base 60.. 5 fingers on one hand and 3 knuckle joints times 4 on the other hand... their celestial calculation was all base 60, not 10 like us. so the heavens were rotating along 360 degrees arc, broken into 60 min, 60 seconds... etc..

cool story bro! Now I can sleep tonight knowing this fact that I never thought about before this thread.. Fuck metric.. :1orglaugh

Can't say that I have actually.

Fractions of a second are metric.

China used to have a decimal clock.

thanks Mark, go ahead and get your watch set up with that will yas? :eyecrazy

and then this might come in handy on a day to day basis for a guy like you...
Planck time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

and what is interesting to me is the fact that you have no interest in our cultural and educational history going back 5000 plus years yet you think you and Hillary Clinton have all the answers for today, how can that be when you don't even understand what is going on today? you guys are a weird creepy bunch off fucks that's for sure :2 cents:

I don't mind US Customary units system, the Farenheit scale though...

they do have metric time

i believe they have a metric clock in leeds in one of the council buildings
