The rest of the world watches in horror as Americans survive on a measurement system that would make even Newton weep into his apple pie. While scientists universally embrace the elegant simplicity of metric, the imperial system somehow persists like that one cockroach that survives nuclear winter. The Mars Climate Orbiter certainly didn't find it funny when it disintegrated because someone confused newtons with pounds-force. $125 million turned to space dust because someone couldn't be bothered to convert units. Next time your recipe calls for 0.2642 gallons, just remember - the rest of us are measuring in nice, round liters.
