whats so great about the metric and celcius?

---

It's logical. Take water for example - 0C is the freezing point, and 100C is the boiling point. Nice and easy. Now, what's that in Fahrenheit?

32... and like... 112 I think... IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE!

The whole metric system makes a lot better sense. But it is a pain for people who grew up in the US to understand and convert to the metric system. The government should pass legislation to adopt the metric system, not only teach it in schools but require it as the only measurement, and convert all maps and tools to the metric system. It isn't that hard to understand if you just use it.

Celsius blends in nicely with the Kelvin scale (C + 273), too, while F(unny) units don't: ((F-32) * 5/9) + 273). w00t.
