    metric system

    The real reason we stupid americans don't switch over is because our NFL
    would have to start measuring the field in meters! (It sounds stupid to say
    so-and-so gained some meterage on that play...)

    The real reason is cost. Australia swaped over years ago, back when the
    country actually had some money. Think of what it would cost to change
    every road sign in the USA, as well as teach 250 million people how to
    use metres etc.

    How do you like that? We give them a culture and economic prosperity
    with our open border policy, and they call us dumb!

    Yes, Canadians are very similar to Americans. If they took after the
    brits, then they would play Cricket!!

    Hehe..course the reason for this was that we didn't want to confuse the
    poor American FBall players who came to the CFL...

    " What do you mean I have to runn 100 meters? Isn't that like over a
    mile??"

    Oh...and for those who don't know..CFL field is 110 yards long...or about
    100 meters :)

    Ya know, I think the Canucks are just pissed off because they get zero
    respect from the rest of the world. I mean, sure, Iraq must be terrified
    that a bunch of Mounties are about to invade!!! A country that regularly
    votes on whether or not to divide into English and French countries: oooh,
    pretty freakin' terrifying. Pardon me if I don't run in panic. The mighty
    wrath of the Canadian army will certainly descend upon us now. Just
    remember: when the Canucks throw a grenade at you, pull out the pin and
    throw it back.
    Hey, how do you know your home's been burglarized by a Canuck?
    Your trash is all over the porch, and your dog is pregnant.
    Now everybody please drop this, before I get nasty.

    Bring it, son. Yeah, come get some.
