Actually, I think the U.S. is the only country that uses the imperial system so much. I'm pretty sure any other industrialized country is metric.

I tis some small country in Africa I think that uses our system.
Here is how dumb it is:
There are 5280 feet in a mile
and 63360 inches in a mile.
I had to go to a couculator to get the 63360 because I had to multiply 5280 by 12. Metric is based around the number 10 wich is a very easy number to work with.
How many millimeters in 1.3 meters? Just move the decimal four places. 13000.
