There is no such thing as an irrational measurement, and physics is invariant under units transformation. How do you get an irrational number from a fraction composed of integers? It's pretty clear to me that Joann meant "irrational" in the sense of "illogical, poorly designed, and Just Plain Silly" (and was referring to the measurement *system*, not any particular measurement). It seems like a pretty good description of the U.S. (and that tiny African country which also uses imperial units, whose name I can't remember) to me. I suppose you are also opposed to base 2, and a well educated multi-lingual population too. Have you priced out stainless steel metric nuts and bolts lately? Seem to cost the same as ... oh wait, where would I get the non-metric ones? Thomas Lee Elifritz http://elifritz.members.atlantic.net -- Sander +++ Out of cheese error +++ |
