It may be legal, young fella, but it isn't American!

From the Eddie Izzard skit about Americans and the metric system: "And
you got rid of it! You had a look at it… you sort of played with the
metric system like this (mimes stirring up something at arm's length,
then throwing it away). And all because of that this little machine went
'Zwoom'. All the little microbes and all the little technological things
in that thing going to Mars going, 'Wasn't that our turning?'"
