The Metric Maven recalls the time that he realised the American measuring system was a bad idea and the metric system was so much easier, prompted by his friend Pierre who had a similar revelation.

He asks for comments on his blog from readers who have had a similar moment of enlightenment.

The Maven also announces that the second edition of Dimensions of the Cosmos is available as a printed book from Amazon.

EDIT: The Metric Maven requested comments for the Comment section of his blog, not for this post. Please add a few comments to his blog entry. If it's OK with you guys, I'll copy some of these comments to the Maven's blog, unless you would care to do this yourself.

I am sorry I didn't make my request clearly.

Thank you.
