Just to confuse you even further, take a look at this List of unusual units of measurement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Regarding your metric system...I can't understand your mesurements either

1 inch is 2.54 cm which begs the question of why the cm measure up to an inch in a very odd measurement (2.54 is very strange)

It all comes down to the region and we learn in very odd ways. Should there be a global system for this? Yes!

Zid,

there is a universal world system for measurements - it called the metric system, ans it does make perfect logical sense - think I need a Pint

Thanks Dwarf. That actually solved the puzzle (besides being very interesting):
1 attoparsec/microfortnight is nearly 1 inch/second. therefore

1 inch = 1 attoparsec second / microfortnight

that is where it comes from!

Have one for me while your at it...or a good single malt!!

Congratulations Joan!

Thanks again all of you don't think I'll manage another 33 years though, I'll not live long enough for that mind you it would have been 46 years if I'd still been with the first one

From your jovial personality, you are about 35 to me. So that should be piece of cake!

Thank you Wally I wish
