Ancient lovers found in Indian burial site mystify and intrigue archaeologists

If you have problem with miles and gallons. You really shouldn't fly in an aircraft these days. Pretty much all of them (save rolls royce) have engines that are designed (master drawings and detailed drawings) purely with imperial units (which I am more used to and comfortable with tbh).

What can I say, Imperial Units are a North American phenomenon, though I prefer Feet and Inches for human height measurement.

And to add to my dislike list, "Degrees" and "Fahrenheit" when measuring temperatue. Why not just Celsius ??

Hate is not good. Please do not put hate in everything. Harrapa is as Pakistani as it is Indian.

Well you can blame the brits for it initially....and Romans before them

US just got too used to it and all kind of numbers for engine thrusts etc, I just know them off heart in lbf (the numbers are so much nicer and familiar to me too)....rather than "kN" stuff which I find really strange.

The British get their stuff from....... India.

No wonder the Brahmins are proud of British imperialism. As the British learned everything from ancient Indians, just like mr Spock learned warp engine design at Nalanda university.
