Average Height Poll

beowulf,
I thought you’d be proud that I am adopting your amerikan ways and spelling things with whichever the hell letters I feel like!

Z’s ahoy!!

Hey secjay, you do realize that’s exactly how the metric system was set up when it was invented, right? The French wanted a measurement system based on nature but also wanted the meter to be close to the yard measurement and fucked up the numbers to make it so. I posted on this in another thread but here’s the link again. CNN.com - Why the metric system is wrong - Dec. 3, 2002

Damn son, I did not think you were that tall. *a jealous 5’ 10”*

onya secjay

tps, no I didn’t realise…

Regardless, even though the metric system is apparantly based upon arbitrary units, at least it is decimal. The ancient egyptian measures changed from pharoah to pharoah, based on the length of his/her arm! But at least their system was decimal, easy to calculate in. And people wonder how they built the pyramids… They weren’t sitting there trying to figure how many cubits to an angstrom-hertz, thats how!

Decimal makes more sense as a counting base because we have ten fingers;
We’re tought to count on our fingers from childhood. This is why it’s difficult to master binary or hexadecimal or octal, or whatever other counting bases you can think up, in our heads. Because they are ‘unnattural’ to us.

10 is a ‘natural’ number to us humans. 12 to a foot? Get outta here…

As for the counting systems of old, eg imperial english currency - how crazy was that?? Imagine how difficult it would be to become an accountant! LoL!

I really couldnt give a crap about what the units are based on, so long as they are uniform.

10 millimeters to a centimeter, 10 centimeters to a meter, 1000 meters to a kilometer, etc… A simpleton could learn and use this system as soon as they’ve got basic counting down pat, from playing with 1’s, 10’s and 100’s blocks in kindergarten. And this is a major strong point because the world is full of simple people.

I find it odd that people are acting defensive about a system that they admit is not even theirs, is based on an ancient and obsolete system, and one which is out of line with the rest of the world.

What’s up with that?

I think it is called “The Secjay Symptom”, sand in the shorts kinda thing.

OK, OK, Mr. Metric

Height = 18,288,000,000 Angstroms
Weight = 108,954,720 Milligrams
BPEL = 0.000191 Kilometers
EG = 0.000144 Kilometers

I like Star-Trek.

I wanna see Nemesis, but it hasn’t come here yet =/

Thats better WestLa, doesn’t it feel nice to conform to normalcy?

Except I don’t understand why you chose to display your measurements to the powers of the base values furthest away from the sensible choices, even though your numbers are perfectly acceptable, it is common practice to make the numbers as short as possible by using the right power of the base value, so as not to be confusing and difficult, which is what you did, see…. That’s one small thing you’ll have to learn, otherwise, you got it!

I guess you’re just used to making things complicated what with using lunacy-inducing imperial your whole life :D

I’m 33 and probably won’t be getting any taller HUH. This should give me enough motivation to get back in the gym. Well I figure that I need to drop 15 lbs. It seems like the skinnier guys have longer dicks.
