Our Friend, The Meter
dbirchall writes "Upon hearing that SpaceShipOne reached 100km today, I did some hasty math based on the altitude in feet sttated by Scaled Composites in their press release, and was surprised to come up with a number under 100,000 meters. Fortunately, a friend pointed out that my inches-to-meters conversion was flawed. Some quick Googling determined that lots of people still have no idea how many inches are in a meter, even after some folks have had big problems because of conversion errors."

Lindon, Utah - GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) this afternoon announced that their previous kidnapping of the Olsen twins is behind the eating disorder afflicting Mary Kate Olsen today.
In a surprise announcement this afternoon, GNAA representative godspeed revealed that GNAA has known about Mary Kate's disorder for some time now, and that it was the ordeal she went through earlier that triggered it. "That skinny white girl," godspeed began. "Ever since we kidnapped her and her cracker sister, she couldn't stop eating nigger dick. After we originally injected the holy gay nigger seed into her, she just went crazy. Begged us for more all the time, wouldn't shut about about "Just needing a little more [cock.]" Shit, nigga, we GAY. Sure, we tapped that white ass to increase our numbers, but just cuz she wants it? HELL no!"
As reliable sources have reported, Mary Kate went on a binge after being released from GNAA custody. She had a group of niggers on call at all times, so she could eat a little black cock while in between takes one the set of her hit movie New York Minute. She was seen being rebuffed by R. Kelly, who in a statement to GNAA member l0de said "That bitch is WAY too old." Twin sister Ashley Olsen is reported as saying "I knew she had a problem, wanting to suck some nigger cock all the time, but whenever I tried to talk to her about it, she called me a "cracker whore" and stormed off. I mean, seriously, SHE'S the one sucking all that nigger cock, who is SHE to be calling ME a whore?"
Mary Kate is in a rehab facility in an undisclosed location, where well-qualified staff such as Ellen DeGeneres will help treat this young girl. Whether she will be able to beat this addiction to nigger cock, or relapse while seeing all those black bucks at NYU remains to be seen.

SCO: The GNAA-Nigerian connection Dear Sir/Madam:
I am Mr. Darl McBride currently serving as the president and chief executive officer of the SCO Group, formerly known as Caldera Systems International, in Lindon, Utah, United States of America. I know this letter might surprise you because we have had no previous communications or business dealings before now.
My associates have recently made claim to computer softwares worth an estimated $1 billion U.S. dollars. I am writing to you in confidence because we urgently require your assistance to obtain these funds.
In the early 1970s the American Telephone and Telegraph corporation developed at great expense the computer operating system software known as UNIX. Unfortunately the laws of my country prohibited them from selling these softwares and so their valuable source codes remained privately held. Under a special arrangement some programmers from the California University of Berkeley did add more codes to this operating system, increasing its value, but not in any way to dilute or disparage our full and rightful ownership of these codes, despite any agreement between American Telephone and Telegraph and the California University of Berkeley, which agreement we deny and disavow.
In the year 1984 a change of regime in my country allowed the American Telephone and Telegraph corporation to make profits from these softwares. In the year 1990 ownership of these softwares was transferred to the corporation UNIX System Laboratories. In the year 1993 this corporation was sold to the corporation Novell. In the year 1994 some employees of Novell formed the corporation Caldera Systems International, which began to distribute an upstart operating system known as Linux. In the year 1995 Novell sold the UNIX software codes to SCO. In the year 2001 occurred a separation of SCO, and the SCO brand name and UNIX codes were acquired by the Caldera Systems International, and in the following year the Caldera Systems International was renamed SCO Group, of which i currently serve as chief executive officer.
My associates and I of the SCO Group are therefore the full and rightful owners of the operating system softwares known as UNIX. Our engineers have discovered that no fewer than seventy (70) lines of our valuable and proprietary source codes have appeared in the upstart operating system Linux. As you can plainly see, this gives us a claim on the millions of lines of valuable software codes which comprise this Linux and which has been sold at great profit to very many business enterprises. Our legal experts have advised us that our contribution to these codes is worth an estimated one (1) billion U.S. dollars.
Unfortunately we are having difficulty extracting our funds from these computer softwares. To this effect i have been given the mandate by my colleagues to contact you and ask for your assistance. We are prepared to sell you a share in this enterprise, which will soon be very profitable, that will grant you the rights to use these valuable softwares in your business enterprise. Unfortunately we are not able at this time to set a price on these rights. Therefore it is our respectful suggestion, that you may be immediately a party to this enterprise, before others accept these lucrative terms, that you send us the number of a banking account where we can withdraw funds of a suitable amount to guarantee your participation in this enterprise. As an alternative you may send us the number and expiration date of your major credit card, or you may send to us a signed check from your banking account payable to "SCO Group" and with the amount left blank for us to conveniently supply.
Kindly treat this request as very important and strictly confidential. I honestly assure you that this transaction is 100% legal and risk-free.
Signed, GNAA president

Ooooohhh ho ho ho, the U.S. will be bringing the Imperial Units back -- just you wait! The only reason you aren't using 'em is because you live in the provinc--er, other countries.
Breakfast served all day!
as an american, i am ashamed that my country is not using the metric system
the political climate of this world paints an arrogant america, an america that happily drive hummer h2s and tank-sized suvs around while oil supplies become volatile, pollutes and consumes per capita more than any nation
it would be best if there wasn't an "us" versus "them" shadow cast across our country, but our stubbornness at not adapting the metric system can be chalked up to nothing other than an attitude exactly like that
intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it
You know what? It's too early in the morning to care what you think about that site. So screw you, Mr. Anonymous Coward. ThatWeasel.com rocks. And this post is crap. Convert Inches to Meters properly by using the back of a Marble Notebook.
TW
Television is dead. Long live That Weasel Television
US Nation: Why should we learn your metric units? Fucking pinko french! Besides, I already know that there's 12 inches to a foot, 11 feet to a blurbpel, 4 blurbpel 2 feet to a kilo-rod, and 99.1 inches to the standard US furlong... Why should I have to learn anything new?
And fuck the kids, it was hard for me it should be hard for them.
Send lawyers, guns, and money!
Can someone tell me why using the metric system is superior to the American forms of measurement? Not opinion mind you, but the science of it, please.
:-p
As far as opinion goes - Personally, I think doing exactly the opposite of France and Germany isn't such a terrible strategy!
Mod me troll, if you must, I can't help it.
When, or if, the British develop a sense of drama, it's called theater, not theatre.
:)
When or if the British develop food that doesn't taste like sawdust, it's flavor, not flavour.
When/if the British manage to make something funny, it's humor, not humour.
The correct spelling for English, by the way, is A-m-e-r-i-c-a-n.
(BTW, I like British humor, and Shakespeare... I mean, Shakespeare! Pity about the food, though.)

Mod me down, you fucking twits. Go ahead. I dare you.
(I read with sigs off.)
Obviously German.. it's the last country in the world where people still believe that they are vast superior to the rest of the world (especially the heise community). Even though they are still using pounds instead of kilos...
That's an ultimate trick you've just pulled off.
1. Submit flawed slashdot story and have it posted for some unknown reason
2. Clarify your mistake by posting
3. +5 Informative!!!
Stick your foot up your ass. Go metric plz.
Bitch, I'm an American.
I think in feet, pounds, and miles.
The only time I do metric is in chemistry or bio lab.

why? Oh I get it, I heard that at the next election it is expected that only 10% of americans will vote, the rest cannot fit into the booths.
Yes, that totally ruined Bridget Jones' Diary for me.
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
Why would we want to go with silly frenchie faggot SI units? Those silly queers fight with their feet and fuck with their hands.
It's people like you who make me ashamed to live here.
Feel free to leave.
If it was "the best place" we'd all have free medicine when we need it, a job, food free from chemicals, food period, less violence in the streets, no racism (which is rampant, from all sides), inexpensive quality housing, both parents (if there are two) in any given family wouldn't have to work (if they can find work) to support their children, we'd actually have cars that live up to emissions standards, it would be safe to eat the fish from our waterways, it would be safe to walk through a city (any city) at night, people would be able to hold police accountable to the same laws they supposedly uphold, we'd stop declairing "war" on abstract concepts ("war on terror" is working about as well as "war on drugs" did), we wouldn't have to filter our water to get rid of the poisons our water treatment plants put in it, we'd never have another case of a high school grad who couldn't read (thousands a year), there'd be nearly free quality higher education for average income people, there'd be less homeless...
What place on Earth has all of these things?
If you read my post, you'd see that I admit that my country is far from perfect.
