You do know this is the "Humor" thread, right? And a so called superpower using an archaic measurement system is not the least bit funny to you.
That is just the problem. Metric is too easy. Its' all 1's and 0's in orders of magnitude all logically ordered and internally consistent. There is no intellectual challenge to it. The Imperial system lends itself to neuroplasticity, the training and strengthening of the brain. One must actually think of the relationships in order to use it correctly and since the relationships are arcane, obscure and inconsistent considerable brain power is necessary to keep it all straight. Maby if your "intellectuals" dint have to think how many barleycorns more do they have to saw off a too short plank to make it fit, They would have enough brain capacity left to realise that creationism is a non-scientific scam. Christianity, One woman's lie about an affair that got seriously out of hand What are the Christians gonna do to me ..... Forgive me, good luck with that.

I first heard this joke a different way from the book, "Dogs Don't Tell Jokes" by Louis Sachar. This was a book that I read growing up
From the book:
Dogs Don't Tell Jokes, p. 198 writes: "One day a husband and wife came up to a street corner where Officer Ed was directing traffic. "Good morning, Officer Ed," said the husband. "Shut up!" said Officer Ed. "I suppose you want me to stop traffic now, just so you and your ugly wife can cross the street." "My it's a beautiful day," said the wife. "It's going to rain stupid!" said Officer Ed. "I've never met such stupid people in all my life." "But there's not a cloud in the sky," said the woman. "Read my lips, lady," said Officer Ed. "It's going to rain." Sure enough before they even made it across the street, the clouds blew in and the rain poured down. The man and the woman had to run under a doorway for cover. "My goodness," said the woman. "Officer Ed is extremely rude." "Yes dear," said her husband. "But he knows rain." Well it just so happens that the man and the woman were songwriters, and that's what gave them the idea for that famous song. Gary put his hands on his hips and looked at the audience as if surprised they didn't know the song. "Oh, com'n, you know that song!" He spoke the title very slowly. "Rude......Officer.....Ed......Knows......Rain......Dear." Gary repeated the title, this time singing it to the tune of the well-known Christmas song. "Rude Officer Ed Knows Rain, Dear." There were many groans amid the laughter."

Nothing! What does the Buddhist terrorist do? Goes into the middle of the street, takes the gas, *pfft*, Self-Barbecue.

I only remembered the punchline and had to make up the rest. It was about a communist named Rudolph though. I first heard this joke a different way from the book, "Dogs Don't Tell Jokes" by Louis Sachar. I often remember just the punch line or everything but the punchline. It's not hard to reverse engineer a joke from the punchline but it can be hard to fit a good punchline to an otherwise unfunny story.

I'm glad Mr. Linguist got that one. I see what you did there On a related note: one of our major Canadian grocery retailers has a house brand called Decadent Chocolate Chip Cookies. I wonder how many people know what "decadent" means. I picture a Hallowe'en cookie in which the chocolate chips are flies.

Is that a joke?
You do know you are confusing it with decedent don't you? Sometimes hard to tell what the humor is.Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

OK, now you guys have me confused.
Are these Canadian cookies sinfully delicious (in which case I want a box) or are they dead (which you can keep)? Make up your mind(s). Is it "a" or "e"?

No, decadent. Google it. You do know you are confusing it with decedent don't you? I suppose eating decadent cookies might make you a decedent.
