Jeez, ‘Puter actually spends some time working and the guys nearly tear the Castle down fighting about the metric system.<\/p>\n

Really? The metric system? Had you already exhausted the “Who’s the better musician: Justin Bieber or Katy Perry” debate?  Hand over your man cards right now.  All of you. ‘Puter’s giving them to Dat Ho and Sleestak. The metric system? Man. ‘Puter still can’t believe it.<\/p>\n

Look. The metric system (1) sucks and (2) is un-American.  Yes, GorT, the metric system is the international scientific standard. And yes, the entire rest of the world pretty much uses it.<\/p>\n

But science is for nerds and the rest of the world sucks. <\/p>\n

‘Puter doesn’t see chicks lining up for Linus Pauling<\/a> to autograph their heaving bosoms. Mostly because Dr. Pauling’s dead, but you get ‘Puter’s point.  <\/p>\n

Bangladesh uses the metric system, and it’s a hellhole, complete with Dickensian sweatshops, but even sweatier because of Bangladesh’s tropical climate. Also, Bangladesh built its country in a frikkin’ river delta,a nd without sewers or running water.  So much for the “metric system is for totally smart people” idea.<\/p>\n

America doesn’t use the metric system, and it’s the greatest, smartest, bestest place on Earth.  Give ‘Puter iPhones and internet porn or give him death! Therefore, the metric system is bad and wrong.  ‘Murrica. <\/p>\n

So, as the French say, “Quod erat demonstrandum.”<\/p>\n

Hey guys! Did you ever think the “i” in “iPhone,” etc. was really a clever Jobsian reference to the square root of negative one?<\/p>\n

Dorks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
