I decided to join in the fun... so I just created a new vector unit for the "standard" system:  useful for... hmm... VERY important calculations! (Message edited by interex2050 on February 12, 2008) | ||

And don't for get that there is a special name for the inverse of turtle: 1/(1_turtle)=1_rabbit | ||

Dude I love it, thats funny as hell I have been half-arsed working on a new "standard" myself for a while. I call it Metric time. Just not sure how I wanna go with the conversion yet. (metric hour longer or shorter then a regular hour). | ||

Nah, don't do that. I don't want to work 10 metric hours a day. | ||
| Tq_freak |
Yea but if I do it so there are 50 hours of "day" and 50 "night" then a 10 hour work day would be awesome. There would be that much more time for riding!  | ||

Instead of the MKS (Meter, Kilogram, Second) or CGS (Centimeter, Gram, Second) system - try the FSF: Furlong, Stone, Fortnight (probably where the Wentworth system came from) Conversions are trivial. | ||

Wentworth! Now that was a good system.  I did a high school physics take home test in the FSF system, man was the teacher mad when she had to convert it all back to tell if I was right on not. | ||

There would be that much more time for riding! but how fast would a bike go in miles per metric hour? | ||

 You guys are making my head hurt  As if I needed to feel even more stupider ps: I like turtles (Message edited by henry_the_8th on February 12, 2008) | ||

Metric time was invented in France in 1794, per Wikipedia. ( a slow blog that should not be trusted to be factual ) But it goes with what I remember. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_time Not that a divisible by 10 system is inherently bad, ( actually it is, but we have ten easily counted digits, and it's hard to overcome dumb. ) but they went too far..... I was a metrologist, and occasionally would quote time in Centidays to torque off those who had issues with the metric system. Never mind that the U.S. officially went metric in 1895. 10 hours a day ??? I have a feeling that management everywhere would insist on no overtime before 8 hours. |
