I can't do measurements either, though. I don't think anyone can. We're all pretending. <br /><br />The entire Metric system is based entirely on the shared delusion that everyone else knows how it works.<br /><br />It's like aeroplanes. If everyone on board realised at the same time that the plane should never have been able to leave the ground in the first place, it would plunge from the sky and explode in a spectacular ball of fire. Best if we all just keep pretending.Barry Hutchisonhttp://www.barryhutchison.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4375637475795118873.post-69959000145627075402010-04-14T12:13:30.517+01:002010-04-14T12:13:30.517+01:00I remembering liking basic algebra.

I am not great with measurements either--I am more of an algebra type than geometry. <br /><br />Best wishes with the Blog Awards.Slamdunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087161268629251860noreply@blogger.com
