  • Death by the Metric System! (Score:5, Funny)

    Any self respecting patriotic American would recoil in horror on seeing km^2 in the headline! Bad things happen with metric titles; witness:

    9 mm - A Nicholas Cage movie about snuff movies.
    21 grams - a Sean Penn movie about the weight of a soul.

    Now if they'd just rounded it up to 250 acres, there would be less commotion!
