I like the definition for a meter though: the distance light travels in a vacuum during one vibration of a cesium (I think) atom (Grr, can't find any site that says, they just give an impossibly small fraction of a second).
Yep, I think that's right.
A "foot"? Hehe
At least I think we can see which is more scientific.
Personally I don't have a problem with either system, I actually feel more comfortable with the metric system in terms of scientific measurements (is uniform with the rest of the world; don't need to crash another Mars probe because of unit conversions

) but others are just a little bit more convenient or just the same... Basically just depends on what you're used to I guess. Just watch it when you cross the border into Canada though, lol, don't want to get pulled over for speeding.
... But watch it when you cross the border into the U.S. too. Don't want to be eaten by a rabid zombie lizard.
