I agree wholeheartedly that statement is so true however there has been talk of changing our measuring system to the metric. Because of that it is now required that we learn it

Bullshit. I have more American friends than you guys, and the only ones that know the metric system are those I had to teach it. And one who taught it to himself. I don't honestly believe what you're hearing is anything more than an idea, and no significant changes will be made.

Well duh, of course nothing is going to be done. Even if we do end up changing it no one is really going to listen. I personally decided to use the metric system after I was taught the basics of it, I'm sure there are still things I'm doing wrong but I like it.

It's quite simple. just do x10 for each step up. It helps to remember that Centi is 1/100, deci is 1/10, deca is x10, hecto is x100, and kilo is x1.000, So a kilometer is 1.000 meters, and a centimeter is 1/100th of a meter.

Isn't pints just for bear? And yeah, the decimal system is more logical, and easy on calculation.

pints are for all liquids but mainly seen with milk and beer

this change just came recently and its only in grade schools or at least I had to learn it at my middle school/grade school (they were the same place)

I know, but in America its weird to use the metric system on a regular basis, most people switch between the two but they don't really understand how it works besides centimeters and meters. I once was talking about the obscene length of something and I used kilometers instead of miles and I got the weirdest look from the people I was talking to.

Maybe, but I doubt it'll stay, and it'll be limited to a small area. A large-scale change isn't coming anytime soon.

That's not that awkward, just compare it to a truly awkward moment, and it's easy to brush off.

I didn't say it was awkward but it was pretty funny because I didn't realize the reason why they were staring at me like that until one of them asked me what kilometer was. Looking back on that they must have been quite dumb to have never even heard of a kilometer, they thought I was making it up for a while.

...... they thought you were making up kilometers?!

I know, lessons learned, they aren't bad people they are just some of the duller knives in the drawer. I found it hard to believe and almost laughed at them, I think that they thought I was just making up a prefix for meter to sound smart.

Also, where would the police take two metas in Hope? We never really discussed the structure of the justice system because they never existed before.

Presumably, heavy lockdown. I know that Wiper is kept under constant sedation, due to Wiper's ability to instantly escape from anything. Aisyle will probably put in something like Kami's Lava Cell, which will backfire on him if he tries to escape. Dark will simply be placed in something really sturdy.

Of course you bring in some one to study my character, though I suppose Captain Awesome doesn't know about LED's past. Still this has got to be my character's biggest weakness, which I have no doubt you will exploit to the full range of your abilities.

You know me. Never can resist a chance to exploit (=

Could I maybe possibly join your rp? I know it's late and I have no idea what the story is so far, but this looked interesting.

New people are welcome.
