Surely a yard (3ft, ~90cm) is the most equivelant to a metre, not a foot
We call him Big30.48centimeter in Europe.
And I think it’s beautiful.
3.048 decimeters*
Big decimeter
That equals 5.143 bananas
Makes sense in theory, but I already call the house down the street bigyard.
I wonder if they have an iron cast foot somewhere, like we have for iso metrics. I mean feet vary greatly in size, who was it that the first foot was measured from? See, this is what keeps me awake at night.
Respira, respira.
Let them handle those issues, we've settled ours already.
You're asking the wrong questions. Did they measure from heel to big toe? Or did they use the foot of one of those "second toe is longest" freaks?
And we don't park our car in Harvard yard. We leave our bicycle at the Technical University of München meter.
Decimeter?
Call him Bigmet (pronounced "big-meat") for short.
