That will work perfectly with my metric adjustable wrench.

Will 7:45 pm become 19.75?

[SnuffaBolshevik]

Damn.

I’m getting hungry and lunch is still 3 kilohours away.

How will this work with daylight savings time ? I believe the sun is still analog.

“Metric Time”?

I just call it military time. It’s pretty common here in Europe. It took me a little while to get used to it, but it’s easy enough.

[Clay Moore]

The Simpson’s already did it.

The original design from the time of the French Revolution was to have a decimalized time system. A day would be divided into 10 hours, an hour would be divided into 100 minutes, and a minute would be divided into 100 seconds. Therefore, all time based calculations would be decimal based without the need to go from seconds to hours.

I smell “April 1st”

[Abathar]

So your broken clock is only right once every 39.37 days now?

[Freeport]

Err... last time I checked it was called a 24 hour clock... odd that.

[Flick Lives]

I like Stardate time.

Reminds me of the “metric system videos” that we watched in school.

They came to the measurement of time, and the actors’ excuse for not changing time to a metric analog was that it “was too inconvenient and people are used to measuring time in the non-metric way”.

Of course, no one saw the irony of that as applied to length, volume, temperature, etc.

The metric system allows bureaucrats to count on their fingers and toes.

100 minutes in a minute? What’s the conversion factor?

Hhaving been in the (US) Armed Forces I have no problem with “metric” time.In fact,every clock and watch I have that can be set that way is.I know...or at least suspect...that I'm in the minority on this issue here in the US but I'm accustomed to being in the minority.Also,I do a fair bit of international travel so when I see “15:45” on an airport departure board I'm not gonna miss my flight....except,maybe,because I've spent too much time at the airport bar! ;-)

[Stosh]

Damn, will this affect the flight I have scheduled for the Azerole of Brumaire?

[Gay State Conservative]

Regarding “metric”...one of the reasons I enjoy driving in Canada so much is that I can do 100 legally.Or at least I thought so until a “constable” handed me a ticket on “the 401” one day.

Westjet has some good deals and unique ideas that they implement each April 1. Of course this year they introduced Metric Time . Last year they introduced their Furry Family program, where you can bring your pets on board with you, rather than in the baggage section. In 2012, they introduced Kargo Kids which allowed for child-free cabins, providing a much needed break for overstressed parents. In 2011, they introduced helium on all flights as a cost savings measure. Since helium weighs less than air, the fuel required for the jet to take off is reduced, a savings passed on to the consumer!
