Hmmm... so what are your measurements?

In inches or feet?

Clearly inches, as feet would be far too difficult to convert into readable number, seeing as how 1/12 doesn't play well with decimals.

Or meters\kilometers for our metric friends?

Meters you'd have to measure in scientific notation for fear of stretching the page.

Nah, the stuff I do is normally measure in microgram or microliter. Picogram occasionally

Metric is better because it calculates in powers of 10 (even numbers) while English is kind of backwards and hard to calculate since it doesn't use even numbers and has odd sounding terms like 'foot'. If you think about it, English measurements seem kind of cowboy/farmer (hick-like) with there naming scheme while metric seems sophisticated and scientific, even though it is much older.
Though I'm ingrained to imagine distances in miles or feet and not Kilometers or meters, I just imagine that 1 mile = about 1.5 km and 2/3 miles = 1km, though it is more like 0.6 miles = 1km. But it's easier to covert km into miles and vice versa in my head by thinking 2/3.
I heard that 1 foot actually represents the distance of each step Hercules took while walking in an Olympic game or something (History channel). So English measurement terms and distances are probably based heavily off of Greek and Roman history.
