No kidding. I'm a decent cyclist. I've bounced more than one helmet off the ground with my head in it. This is why I always wear one, and always insist my kids do too.

One more series I need to read...
Well yes, it's the lightning that makes the inscription.
A CPU is just a rock we hit with magic lightning...
I'ma smother you with buffalo sauce and lick it off your naked body with a side of bleu cheese.
The British one wouldn't be the best choice. Not exactly powerful....
When Canada abolished the penny I was advocating for renaming our currency the pound, just so we could divide it up into 20 shillings. Each shilling would of course still be 5¢.
There will be holdouts. In my part of Canada all the rural roads are laid out in a 1 mile x 2 mile grid. Nobody every says a farm is 3.2km away. It's 2 miles. Even changing all the road signs is cheaper than moving roads to make more sense in the metric system.
Otherwise for long-ish distances we're completely metric.
It's weirder when you look at Canada vs USA. Mileage here is usually written L/100km, but back in the day the cars were exactly the same but the mileage in Canada was better because the the US gallon is only ~83% the size of a proper gallon.
It's been Canada's official standard for decades. It's just starting to hit the general population though.
Clearly it's a queef Dutch oven.
