Handy Metric Conversions

We Americans (defined as residents of the USA) frequently have problems with metric conversions. In an attempt to clarify the conversion process here are some common conversions.

1 million microphones = 1 megaphone
2000 mockingbirds = two kilomockingbirds
10 cards = 1 decacards
1 millionth of a fish = 1 microfiche
453.6 graham crackers = 1 pound cake
1 trillion pins = 1 terrapin
10 rations = 1 decoration
100 rations = 1 C-ration
10 millipedes = 1 centipede
3 1/3 tridents = 1 decadent
2 monograms = 1 diagram
8 nickels = 2 paradigms
2 wharves = 1 paradox

Fuck you, just bloody get along with the rest of the world and go S.I.!

Ohhhh, okay, I didn't see the jokes there, sorry.

Still, imperial is damn ancient, and impedes everyone else with the damn conversions, get along with S.I.

What the hell is a graham cracker? A salty cracker biscuit made by a bloke called Graham?

Mmmm, crackers..
I'd say water crisps are the best though - although they're plain, they're nice to munch on..

I refuse to act upon or take the advice in the field of mathematical conversions or system of measuring from a person who doesn't know what a graham cracker is.
