Wow, thats is really inaccurate, If they want to do that they should break it down into smaller units.

Hey, I'm all for it.
I ran some numbers through their conversion.
My truck would be faster in the quarter mile and I didn't have to do any mods.

That has to be the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Yeah, let's change all time because of an idea from the makers of $35 watches.

Well, I'm NOT happy with the way time has worked for 5,000 years either. Luckily, I've got this time thing figured out.

Because we're all so busy and all with the way the world is zooming these days, I've figured our salvation will come when governments around the world introduce Metric Time. Hey, we've already got metric miles in Canada, only we call them kilometres, which is actually a mis-pronunciation of kill-them-miles.

Anyway, the world will return to a saner pace with Metric Time. Why?

Because metric time gives us all 100 seconds in every minute, 100 minutes in every hour, 10 days in every week, (ya, I know, only 10 months in the year but it still works out way better).

With the additional time, think how much saner the world will be. Personally, I can't wait! Write your representative in Congress now and demand a shift to Metric Time. You won't regret it.

I remember a few years ago in a high school science class, my classmates came up with the idea of a metric clock! Now Swatch stole our idea!
