Yea PSI works, but all the fractions are silly. 12 inches in a foot, 5280 feet in a mile. What were they thinking? 32 degrees is the freezing point? Who came up with this stuff?

It must be the same person that laid out this town and thought it was a good idea to have the 1400, 1500, & 1600 addresses all on the same block.

I was across town the other day on one paticular block it was the 2700 block. Except for one house, which was 3521. Do I dare go to the 3500 block and see if there is a house marked as 2721?

1760 yards in a mile  .

"1754... 1755... 1756... 1757... 1758... 1759... oh make the beast with two backs it... that has GOT to be a mile already*"

Dont get me started on the base 60, 360 deree circle.

10 kilometers in a mile sounds reasonable.

Shall we throw the nautical mile into this mix as well?

From the people who brought you the Volvo Amazon... a vehicle for which you need both metric and imperial tool sizes   From the country which used to drive on the same side of the road as me, but changed to prevent bumping into their neighbours.

No thats just an excuse to use 360 for lat & long.

I need to go back to contemplating the Taco Pie.
Here it is again.



BTW that slice is approx 50 Radians. 

Taco pie?

My first thought was:  Why?

My second thought was: I could eat 250g of that 

Taco Pie...

DD's Bacon, Egg & Cheese Pie...
