He, he! I happen to know a bunch of imperial measurements. They're really easy to memorize. For instance, 1 inch = 2,54cm and 1 pound = 0,45 kg. And I know the average height of many countries (research, research :p ). You Dutch are the tallest people in the world (with the exception of a small tribe somewhere in Africa), the men having an average height of about 5'10'' (1,78m) and the women an average height of 5'6'' (1,676m). English and American men stand 5'9'' (1,75m) tall and the women 5'4'' (1.625). Here in Portugal the average woman is 5'3'' (1,60m) (I'm sooo glad I'm 5'7'') and the average man is 5'7'' (1,70m). Of course this is the average of an entire country because the average height of young Dutchmen is 6' (1,83m). You live in a land of giants!

Yep, we all descend from the same unicelular organism. We're all cousins!
