In Reply to: Slowly I turned... step by step, 28 millimeters by 28 millimeters.... posted by The Killer Piglet on January 6, 2021 at 09:13:20:
If Jesus had wanted things to be metric he would have had ten disciples instead of twelve. Just joking. I have been fairly comfortable with the metric system ever since high school chemistry and physics, but I still think in Avoirdupois and do conversions to metric.
I dream of an America where a chicken can cross the road without having it's motives questioned.
