    Forget metric! Gotta go all out and use SI.
    The word rap as it applies to music is the result of a peculiar phonological rule which has stripped the word of its initial voiceless velar stop.

    Would be nice to have speeds in m/s, but i don't see that happening either.

    She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."

    Then ask a smart question.
