Then again, why is it so weird?

The thing about Europe? Can't remember, but it is a country where a hot day is a rarity

According to wikipedia: "The United States and the United Kingdom see active opposition to metrication today, the main objections being based in localism, tradition, cultural aesthetics, economic impact, repeating decimal notation when dividing by some numbers (3,6,7,9 etc), or distaste for measures viewed as "foreign"."

I don't think there's a specific reason, other than resistance to change & being comfortable with what we've always used. I know about how long a mile is, to walk or to drive, but a kilometer?? Not really...

Well, chivalry has as its basic assumption the idea that woman are not capable of caring for themselves and need the extra help, so in that sense it whould die.

If the toilet seat isn't down when you sit you can get stuck. This really sucks. Especially at 4 in the morning when you just got up to pee and you have to call your bf out of bed to help you get unstuck. Not that this happened to me or anything >_<

What's with those games with the little figurines? What's the appeal?

Yeah, but I mean, why do some women kind of 'demand' that? Can't they put the toilet seat down theirselves with their.. ehm, hands?

And yeah, you're right about chivalry..

The reason would be money. If the U.S would want to change to the metric system, imagine how much it would cost to change the equipments that they use, not to mention that training will be needed for its citizens.

Toilet seat problem solved: keep the whole LID down at all times the toilet isn't in use! (This also solves the problem of things being accidentally dropped into the toilet - toothbrushes, hair clips, etc. - which can cause nasty clogs.)


England is officially metric. The only three countries that are NOT metric are the US, Liberia, and Myanmar.

Women demand that so they don't get stuck in the toilet at 4 in the morning!

I agree. Just keep the lid down. It solves all of these problems and more.

Germs, maybe? I don't know, I'll put it down with my hands.

I wish we would convert to the metric system, I really prefer it and it's what I'm used to working with.

My question: Why is it that sometimes when you're typing and go back to fix a mistake, it will untype something? Let me give an example. Say you typed 'tht' instead of 'that'. You go back to place an 'a' between 'h' and 't', but instead of putting the 'a' in the spot, it erases the 't' instead. Why does that happen?!

That's because you're in "overstrike" mode rather than "insert" mode, so what you're typing goes "over" what you've already written rather than being inserted. Hitting the "insert" key once should fix it (and if you hit the "insert" key again, it'll go back to overstrike).
