[at-l] Today...

[kdpo at gottawalk.com (Ken Powers)]

Felix, I thought you would be quiet after being shelled about the three
yolked egg.

I thought metric was supposed to be easier, like 10 months with 10 weeks
with 10 days. Of course the years would be longer and the days would have to
be shorter. So we need the astrophysicists to slow up the earths rotation
around the sun and increase it spin rate in order to get us onto metric
years.
