Check out the profile page, pay close attention to the height. These are some really short racers.

I think we should change all our NASCAR measurments to metric because 321.87 kph sounds so much cooler than 200 mph.

He has a high BMI. And it's a miracle that he's able to run 4th in the Tour with that much density </sarcasm_Franco-German>

I knew there was a good reason why he can't manage to climb up onto the podium...

Hmmm, interesting. It would put the final shovelful of dirt on the grave of electric cars (50 kW = a mere 67 hp).

Kilopascals /cm squared or PSI?
A pint's a pound, what the hell is a kilo in poesy?
The French came up with metrics, what engineering feats did it facilitate?
Why not teach decimals and fractions in school instead?
To: steveegg
I can't even keep up with the number of turns let alone metric. However would I do qualifying LAP TIMES?

I was in grade 9 when Canada went metric.
Like math wasn't tough enough already, I had to learn it all over again in a different mathematical language.
That was in the '70's.
My son, born in '91, has never known anything other than metric, so we sometimes have a hard time communicating......ie:
Son:It was about 2 meters away from me
Me:You mean 6 feet?
Son:No. What do my feet have to do with it?
