I didn't know the story about the pirates, that was interesting. I for one am glad we don't use celsius or centigrade, because our temp. is far more precise. I know they teach the metric system in elementary school now, because my wife is teaching it to her third graders. Main problem I see is that there's not really a comparable measurement to a foot. cm kinda like small inches; km kinda like a small mile, meter kinda like a big yard, etc... WE measure lots of things in feet, and it makes more sense than measuring in 1/3 of a meter.
