2002-08-17 I saw the date too, but it is not to late to complain about such an attitude as long as the page is still on-line and others can see it.
Second, I don't care if it is meant to be funny. I don't see the humour in it. Many dummies out there will think it is serious and use it to feed and support their already anti-metric beliefs. And those not sure, might "see his point", as well as the point of all others who post anti-metric rantings and claim they were only trying to be funny. Why is it we never see any humorous articles on FFU?
