Can anybody please explain to me why you Americans remain in the Dark Ages

Why is it the Dark Ages? That's the silliest thing I've ever heard. A thing is the same length no matter what system you use to measure it.

A system of measurement just needs to be uniform- nothing else.

Why not complain about the Brits? They use both the English system and the Metric. At least Americans are still using one.

This is not the first vanity FOTR has posted, basically attacking us in a wide-eyed "no insult meant" way.

Look Runny -- Australia is meaningless on the world stage. Nice place, and we like you guys, but your job is to provide comic relief for the world. Get over it and stick with what you do best.

Medicine, drinks, etc.
