[TheForge] A little metrology humor - YAK

Further along this path...
And the pilgrims did join up with other outcasts to throw off the yoke of the 
French, Britannic, and Spanish kings, thereby waxing exceeding strong. So 
that in the fullness of time, sly Europeans sought to again establish control 
with a metric plan. Alas, by this time the crude colonial barbarians were no 
longer impressed with the debauched "old world," so that despite the cajoling and 
threats of their highly knowledgeable collegiate types--they did giveth the 
finger and make rude comments (amid raucous laughter) at the self appointed gods 
of good judgment.
The disappointed godlings gave dire warnings that the kingdom of Ten would 
overwhelm the barbarians by force of numbers <G> but they, having no proper 
sense of helplessness did retaliate with computers--what a low blow.
  Today, all Europe arises, saying "let us band together, and show up these 
colonials," thus do the barbarians quiver and shiver, realizing that they have 
awakened a sleeping...pigmy.
