Who was "telling people to freak out" and what level of "fear" do you think is appropriate for a nuclear meltdown?
I believe around 15 kiloHitchcocks is the accepted level of fear for a nuclear meltdown. To clarify, I think that's equivalent to 674.722 on the Voorhees scale, or approximately 9433.00284 Ringu, a measurement which isn't used all that often.
Surely you mean 9433 milliringu? Last I checked, one metric Ringu equals 1.6 kiloHitchcocks and around 70 Voorhees.
You jest, but once upon a time you were able to get cheap lobster with black beans and rice on Rosarito Beach, with freshly made tortillas and salsa....ah, those were the days...
We've also had metric for 30 years, though even that is basterdized because butter is sold in 454g packages and meat and produce is advertised in per pound prices, while measured and sold in per kg prices. Gas is sold in litres, odometers measure kilometres, yet a lot of people still talk about fuel economy in Imperial-MPG (not to be confused with US MPG which is 84.4% the size).
We've had metric in Mexico for over a hundred years, and if anything, we've seen a retreat in metrification because of so many products standarizing in US sizes.
We've always had 355ml soda cans, 113 gram hamburgers, etc. But now it's worse, now we are seeing gallon and half-gallon milk containers, along with the traditional liter cartons.
I'm guessing things look a little different when it's oneself being falsely accused, even without taking into account whatever level of corruption is perceived in the local judiciary.

I can think of a couple of Kingdoms (not republics) with democratically elected representation...

My wife works a few blocks away from the main Grupo Modelo brewery (makers of Corona, which many of you like).
The stench of the brewing processes is unbearable at times...
Are the exhaust ports wider than two meters? Harder to hit than a womprat?
I expect Nokia's shareholders (and maybe the Finnish government) to sue Elop and friends.
99% of gun owners do absolutely nothing wrong with their guns.
Source for that?
In many parts of the USA, life without a car (and a gun) is unthinkable.
So, the internet was cool before it became popular, Hipster Ariel?
If we had a Hari Seldon, would anyone listen to him?

Now I understand why that "Gangnam Style" video is hilarious when drunk, but incomprehensible when sober.
That's because the dollar was not created tied to the british pound, it was tied to the Spanish/Mexican silver Peso, which was decimalized in 1863.

Did they bury him with a stake through the heart and his head chopped off?
Yup.
And we buried the body at a crossroads, facing down, with the stake firmly lodged in its cold grey heart.
The head's mouth was filled with garlic and holy wafers placed on the eyes, and was buried separately, across running water.
It's the only way to be sure. (no, nuking from orbit was not an option)
Also, wasn't Alf's home planet destroyed in an incident involving hair dryers? Hairspray doesn't sound far-fetched...
[clap, clap, clap] Hilarious AND relevant! Well done!
Tumblr is full of them, I'm afraid.
Yup, Libertarian paradises tend to be like that.
He should defend himself in court.

You mean it's a false positive?
He was probably wearing some "steampunk" watch and boots, the poor idiot.
I'd bet there was no statement planned.
Most heavy metal is regular chords and melodies, played fast and hard on distorted guitars, with thrumming bass lines and staccato drums.
No dissonances there, strictly speaking.
As stated before, we Mexicans don't want Texas back, you can keep it.
Sorry no. On behalf of all Mexicans, Texans can stay in the USA or become independent, but we don't want them back.
Strong coffee enemas are also popular among some crazy people.
