i think we should convert to metric time
100 seconds in a minute, 100 minutes in an hour, 10 hours in a day. I mean why not?? 80 past 2 has a nice ring to it....

Being a number crunching engineer type, I have to say it...
There would only be 8.64 hours per day if there were 100 seconds per minute, 100 minutes per hour.
Otherwise, it would make more sense, wouldn't it?

One of the best quotes I heard was on TV on a news clip. They were discussing the conversion to metric units... They were interviewing this dude. He said:
"They say there'* 2.2 pounds in a kilogram... I just don't see why they don't make it an even 2."
