    I'm 4 days into my trip, and since I'm at a hotel (wanted to camp tonight but we went 10 miles too far, so we wound up at a hotel with free internet) change my answer from squirrel to free-ballin. Its way more comfortable not to wear underwear with bike shorts.

    Other than that, I just want to know who was in charge of deciding how many feet were in a mile. That makes no sense at all. Does anyone know anything about how the... (english?) "system" came to be?

    That mile thing always bugs me.

    I have both an analog watch and a digital one, but I prefer the digital one. I have to wear a watch - if I don't I spend most of the day annoying people by asking "What time is it?" every five minutes. I'm all for metrics too - much less complicated... You just add or take zeroes.

    i heard a rumor once that the english system was based on kings... as in, it was a foot, because some king's foot was that long, and a mile is that many feet, because that's how many steps he took to walk it. wouldn't surprise me if something as retarded as that was the basis for the standard system...

    I can believe that... it *is* based upon *someone's* foot, or leg, or arm, or some shit. It's a take on a medieval system of using Hands.

    When it comes to telling the time from a regular clock, I'm not exactly my aunt, who wears one of those watches with just hands on them, but I would call myself proficient. I also don't have any trouble with 24 hour time, and I think that anyone who NEEDS a digital clock needs to go back to fucking school.

    I really should get another battery for my watch one of these days, and a replacement doober-whacky button thingy that's missing from the side. My watch only has 16, 20 and 24 on the front of it (at least for hours) and it confuses the hell out of most people when they see it for the first time.

    That must be a bitch when drinking water is being measured out. I can see it now: Some guy in charge sucks up a mouthful of water and spits it into a clay drinking jar. "That's one ro."

    Dude those guys screwed their sisters. When that is accepted then taking urine samples probably is okay.

    The imperial system was invented by my great, great, great, great, great, great great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great great, great, great, great, great, great unlce on my Scottish side. A foot was how long his cock was, an inch was how long his new born child's cock was and a mile was how long his cock was when he'd had a hit of viagra (yes he invented that too)

    And was a gallon how much he could piss after drinking a pint of beer?

    And a quart is how many pints he could drink in an hour.
