Every time I try to educate you unwashed Americans about how you do everything wrong (the metric system and having guns) you guys invoke this second world War thing you never even experienced personally.

Stop that.

In the case of germany you have to understand that Germans and Russians traditionally have always been friends.

We even owe the formation of germany to Alexander's victory over napoleon. With the exception of the 2 world wars Germany is actually looking at Russia as an ally.

Given a WWW3 Germany may end up on the side of Russia

The metric system is better, except there is no reason to use Celsius over Fahrenheit. They are both based on arbitrary things which don't really matter.

Metric is better because it's much easier to convert between units and use in mathematical equations.. There's nothing like that for Celsius.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

Running 1.86 miles without dying is literally impossible
I heard farenheit is based on human body temprature being 100, but the guy who made it only had one test subject, (His wife) and she was menstrating, so her temp was up. thats why 98.8 is average human body temp instead of 100.

Yeah, and not having to use negative numbers is pretty useful. That's basically the reason kelvin is better, a reason which celsius does not have.

True enough. Not having to remember that water freezes at exactly 273.15 degrees is pretty convenient, though.

Dear sir, I Am sorry but you guys all basically speak German so the borrowing is done on germanys behalf.

You are right though the word Brustwarze does exist but doesn't work in English grammar. So it's still Brustwarze not Brustwarz in Nominativ
