TMifune Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 The title made me think of one of my favorite parts of the Nicolas Cage Jay Baruchel version of Sorcerer's Apprentice. Early in the movie Jar Baruchel's character's RA played by Omar Benson Miller, is telling him he really needs to get involved in something and active at school Later in the movie: [video=youtube;6j99ELRKcqk] ] I just love how Omar Benson Miller is so excited that Jay's involved in something he doesn't even care what it is! ;-) Off topic, but I thought I'd share.

Sportster2005 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 OMG I remember Hal and Joanne. Are you on a military base? When I was a youngin I lived on Stad Naval Base in Halifax. I was about 100 feet from the gym/pool. They didn't charge anything for it. I was in the service though. That's an amazing price for a gym.

faraday Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Burma, Liberia and the US are the only countries that haven't adopted the metric system. Silly Americans ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMifune Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 ] It is silly to have three countries using a different standard than EVERYONE else. What sucks is when you're raised in one system it because very intuitive to imagine measurements in that system and it's very difficult to switch. I think it's a testament to how stubborn Americans can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a testament to how stubborn Americans can be. I was in grade 4 when we switched to the metric system . And for some things I still use the imperial system . Primarily cooking though . I think by the time I was about 11 years old the switch was complete . Even though the process was started in 1970 . My husband was telling me though the aviation industry still goes by imperial measurement . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
