You believe Han Solo? He's the creep who shot Greedo first!History wrote:QUOTE (History @ Nov 10 2010, 10:23 AM) No no! This needs to develop into a discussion of weather the metric system or the inch-pound system is better.
Personaly I am convinced that the metric system makes no sense what so ever and I am prepared to back it by quoting one of my heroes:
"You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon?…It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs."
―Han Solo
From this we can clearly see that a parsec is a measure of time and not of distance as the metric system foolishly claims!
Mysterious Disappearances
A parsec IS a unit of distance, hans solo was able to cut it down to 12 simply by skirting a black hole cluster and shortening the route.

If you are handicapped in your thinking to the point you claim one unit is better then another:

I believe this ends the debate except for those with brains bigger then a gebril with a skin condition but smaller then those of tantric pretzels

Speaking as an engineer SI units are more convenient than most of the alternatives. However in every field there are conventions that change the usual units (so N/mm^2, kN/m^2/N/cm^2 all in different fields, and yes I know that the first two are equivalent). It's a bloomin' nuisance in all honesty. I also hat the fact that the standard base unit of mass is kg not g. If I were in charge of the metric system it'd have made a hell of a lot more sense than it does.
Spidey: Can't think of a reason I'd need to know anything
The Kg is an odd beast. While they have found "independent" definitions of - say - a meter, so everyone can create a length of exact 1 meter, comparing mass with a metal object in France seems not practical.
