Things that you Google that make you realize you're an idiot...

The metric system is the tool of the devil! My car gets forty rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it.

That's 12.22fpg. Any fuel cost >free would suck

You are correct, my bad. I worded that wrong.

Water's peak density is at 4ºC. It is not frozen at 3ºC, yet it less dense. From melting point to 4ºC, water rises in density. It then proceeds to become less dense at higher temperatures. So after 4ºC, it follows the trend of most liquids, but it doesn't follow it immediately after the melting point. I don't know if THAT is also a normal trend for other liquids. I think that may be unique, and is probably a direct result of the fact that it is less dense as a solid.

Isn't it something to do with tiny ice crystals starting to form just above freezing?

I had to Google is Cee Lo Green a midget?

I don't get the outrage, US don't use metric system so you don't know. If you knew the metric system then you would know the logic behind it and its underlying simplicity. Big deal...

It's like saying how the fuck did I know know what "cào nǐ mā" means, after all it has the work "ma"... well its because you were never taught Chinese...

Are you sure we don't use the metric system? Those sneaky French sons of bitches sneaked in Watts - clearly a metric unit. And, what's the current definition of an inch? Exactly 2.5400000000000000 centimeters?

I had a good one just now:

How the fucking fuck could I not know that? Public school, you have failed me.

So a kilogram is a liter of water, which is 1,000 cubic centimeters, which is also, apparently, 1,000 grams and could be used to define a 'fluid gram,' (as in, 'fluid ounce'). WHY DO WE NOT USE THE METRIC SYSTEM YET?!

edit: to clarify, I knew 'kilogram = 2.2lbs,' which I don't think school taught me, either. But I could not recall off the top of my head how to use a known volume of water to measure weight.

water = ~8.3 lbs/gallon. There are approx. 7.5 gallons in one cubic foot...therefore, one cubic foot of water weighs approx. 62 pounds. (62.25)

While that's hardly exact, it's close enough for non-engineering calculations.

Fuck the metric system.
