Should we try "people should stop smoking crack" next?
People smoking crack aren't hurting me. People using Imperial are.

People stealing from me to pay for their crack are hurting me. Some bastard broke into my fiance's car last night looking for money.

Why haven't you Euros gotten time metricized. Hours and minutes are so archaic.Comment

Wouldn't mind if they did. You're forgetting about days/weeks etc. btwIs God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment

Because time isn't easily forced into base 10 units. But for time < 1 second it is all metric.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

So how come you can't divide a day by 10 eh?
What's really amazing is that we still use this ancient babylonian system of time measurement that is around 4000 years old. (actually considering the age and spread of the system maybe it's not that surprising)19th Century Liberal, 21st Century EuropeanComment

A day is 86400 seconds, 1/10 of a day is 8640 seconds.
There are very good reasons for having the second as the scientific unit of time. It's just unfortunate that the earth doesn't rotate in a convenient number of seconds.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

It has already. The second is the SI unit for time. Bigger units are just retained for the sake of convenience.Originally posted by GP

Thanks, that'll come handy during the following physics exams...Yes, I always use pi * 10^6 as an approximation.

Yeah, it's really handy to remember that if you are doing order of magnitude estimates (and sometimes it conveniently cancels!)Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth
