  • i hired this guy to measure my penis

  • Yes, he used a micrometer.

  • May America never goes metric...our forefathers left Europe behind to establish the greatest nation in the world. Metric activist overate metric...give em an inch and they'll take a yard or give em a cm the take a meter. Nice trees.

  • Metric is base ten. The other system is a combination of traditional units that have no relationship to each other. The problem is trying to convert from one to the other. Once you just learn to estimate in metric "oh, that's about 3 meters away" then the beauty of metric becomes clear. Many people teach conversion from English to metric and THAT is the confusing thing.

  • is this accurate, considering the crevasses in the bark ?

  • I've been using metric more the past year. Including measuring the grove of titans and atlas grove redwoods. Google "mdvaden" and "grove of titans" sometime to find the page. Easy to search. The long tapes are handy.
