So why are the Yanks holiday on to the old fashioned system so fanatically. Is their a cult of Fareinheit over there??? It's nuts. Metric is so much convenient.

A spider should have 10 legs.

My wife killed a spider for me on Sunday morning and was so proud of herself. The night before I jumped outa bed because a spider was crawling on my arm. I searched all over, but could find where the spider went. My wife kept saying if must have been a fuzz ball on my arm. In the morning though, she found out there was a spider in the bedroom. Now I gotta go through the house spider hunting again.
