Plus, Flint is crazy.

Crazy never seems to go out of style.

The 11th digit.

We should ask Alice. Digit Alice. She would know.

Sweet Jeebus, I can't believe this thread got dredged up from its well-deserved resting place.

Lack of the tenth digit has held back implementation of the metric system in the US for far too long.

Why stop with numbers?

For those who want to learn about numbers and their history, I recommend this book: "The Universal History of Numbers" by Georges Ifrah

It makes a very interesting reading.

And in the way of humor:

Q: How do you call a redneck that is able to count up to twenty?

Spoken like a true politician!

Brilliant!

Note how succinct his claim is. Note the rational tone of voice. Note the appeal to patriotism with his understated implication that the US is suffering. He missed slightly in this part by suggesting it was the metric system that was held back, not the US being held back. Plus the metric system is kind of "foreign" and serves better as a natural enemy than as an asset. Note the implication of urgency with the phrase "far too long".

Aren't you moved? Somewhat alarmed? Wouldn't you nod your head in agreement with the rest of the crowd of supporters? You would and you might not even notice it.

Also please note the complete absence of reason. Factual truth is INconspicuously absent from this statement. But you might vote for it anyhow because "that right! that sounds right to me!". This happens all the time.

I'd venture the tenth digit, "is kind of 'foreign' and serves better as a natural enemy than as an asset".

BigV 10-26-2010 11:23 AM

Sure!

That's fine, that's great. I (HLJ) just want(s) you nodding along, and for that momentum to be carried over into the voting booth.
