1 inch is how many cm again?

[Konrad]

A little joke on all us 'mericans. We're big enough to take it I think. (And to take your damn metric system and shove it where the sun don't shine! Ha!) Even after 10+ years in Japan, I still think in inches and feet. I've lost Farenheit though. It's how hot today? 90? 95?
I used to love the old "Guess" barrage weapons in 40K, when you'd actually guess the distance. The Japanese guys would be amazed that I could say, "33 inches to the Havoc with the horns." and Boom! be right on target.

If we were meant to use the metric system we'd have ten fingers.

1 in = 2.5 cm
1ft= 30cm
1m=1.609km
F= (Cx1.8)+32
1kg=2.2 lbs.
1g=3.5l

I think it is 1"= 2.54 cm, hence once 1' = 30.4x cm.

Last time I checked I had 10 fingers.

What are you, european or something??!!

[Primarch]

HA! In England we use both systems. We get the weather news in Fahrenheit and Centigrade. We can buy pints of beer and litres of cola. I measure peoples dimensions in feet and inches, and driving distances in miles, but the length of objects in metres. Its great.

What Prim said

seriously, all motorway signs have 2 values for everything, and so do cookers and stuff like that.
