Skek discovered 3 months ago- Interesting Article on how France adopted the Metric System
- johnwatchtower rated 3 months ago
- the assembly redefined the meter in 1793 as 1/10,000,0001 of the distance from the Equator to the North Pole.

- boo, metric!
- kynran rated 3 months ago
- Always wondered what mad bugger started the metric system to oust the natural measures of e.g. inch, foot, yard, hand etc. Using an autoharp I once tried to replace the 12 semitones in an octave with 10 equal novatones. Try incorporating these into harmony - Yuck! Auditory hell!!!
