measurement systems

i find the US measurement systems to be mostly confusing (12 inches in a foot?).  having lived in many countries, i can now think in both fahrenheit and celsius, but i have no idea how much i weight in kilos.   

anyway, this graphic nicely demonstrates a reason why using fahrenheit to measure temperatures kinda makes sense!  :)

    It annoys me sometimes when we have all these different measurements. It’s sometimes difficult when you are looking for something at a certain length in feet and what they have for you are things that are measured in meters. While I do use Celsius in measuring temperature, I do have to agree with your graphic. Fahrenheit seems like a better measurement as you can easily gauge things from a 1 to 100 scale. That’s a funny chart for the Kelvin measurement.
