You are citing a cartoon with a dick joke and a mom joke to say that metric is just as human oriented as imperial. Seriously:
Imperial:
1 Foot ~ the length of some guy's foot.
1 Second - the duration of one heart beat.
Metric:
1 Meter - some 1/10000 of 1/4 of an mis-measurement of the circumference of the Earth.
1 Second - stolen from the Imperial system cause 86 microdays did not easily divide by 10, 7, 24, 60, 30, 31 or 29.
- Lapha 3y agoThe first mechanical clock that could accurately and reliably measure seconds was a pendulum clock with a length of one metre. Seconds and metres go hand in hand with the metric system.
