Why the hell would you have a system where the units aren't using fixed, easy to calculate, conversion factors?

Because, for most things, those factors don't have nearly the importance to justify the cost of switching. For endeavors where such things are critical, metric is already being used. Who cares whether a highway sign says 100km or 60mi? I'd actually rather the US went metric, but there's no good reason to spend the money on doing it.

Man, this is just begging for a comment about not being able to distinguish between eurotrash men and women. Androgyny rules!

I do agree that Europe seems to have a better handle on the work/vacation balance. I guess working long hours seems kind of pointless when you hand over 60% of your paycheck to the government.
