[USMA:46329] 144 years to go....

[Harry Wyeth]

Only 144 years to go before SI is implemented in (presumably) the US, 
according to "Avatar", the latest blockbuster hit.  In 2154 the bad guys 
measure military distances in "klicks" (I hate the term!) and I think 
there is a reference to meters in one part dealing with firing distances.

It is, off topic, a simply beautiful and truly innovative movie, but it 
would be a waste to see it in other than 3D.  Plot is so-so.
