And more on the Olympics ....
 
 
 
.... when the fuppin' heck did "The British Team" (or even "The Great British Team") morph into the quite appalling "Team GB"

Speaking of nonsense. I have been watching our conventions etc. and starting to think the Democrats have hired a boob to run against them that could not possible be elected only to find out the masses are so disillusioned about the their state of being that there is a chance the boob could be elected after all or it's all a show to create the illusion they have a choice in the first place

Exactly!!
 

So it's divisible by 12?
 
What does that even mean?

And while we're at it, Jules Vern needs to change the name of his book "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea."  It should be "69046.767 Miles Under the Sea."  So there.
 
Also, most people think he's talking about depth, he had to know that in the future people wouldn't be so tied to the sea that they would even know what a league was, and that they would assume he meant depth, so he should have titled it " Traveling 69046.767 Miles Around the Sea." 
 
I suppose somebody will mention that he was French, and what else would you expect, but I love everyone, so it won't be me.

And another thing BBC (rather poignant considering the Olympic Games are on) ....
 
 
 
..... 'Medal' is a noun, NOT A FECKIN' VERB

Now that's funny!  (Since it's been both a noun AND a verb for decades!)
 
Maybe you're just irritated because Team GB hasn't podiumed enough?

It's obvious mate...
 
 
The square root of USA = awesome
 
 
 
Dude.

Too many square roots in the U.S.

I wouldn't touch metric with a 3.048-meter pole,
 
Actually, I've no problem with metric units and think it would be a great convenience not to have to buy two sets of sockets.
 
There is, however, one exception (and it's the one folks in the UK and Canada seem to have no problem with): temperature measurement.
 
While the centigrade scale is convenient for chemists, in everyday use the Fahrenheit scale's resolution more closely matches everyday human experience. Negative temperatures should describe a really, really cold day, not a typical Winter day in the northern latitudes. Zero to 100 Fahrenheit encompasses the range of what we experience in real life, unless you live in Antarctica or the Mojave Desert. Zero to 100 Celsius encompasses the range of liquid water, rarely relevant to whether or not I'll put on a jacket.
