The USians are distracted.
Quick! Sneak in the metric system so we can stop this ridiculousness.
Nah, it will take a coup d'état by NASA or some engineering society. And they don't look interesed.
@gettingcomputey
1km=1000m ; 1m=100cm
1ton=1000kg ; 1kg=1000g
1liter=1000cm^2
1liter of water = 1 kg of water
Water freezes at 0 c, boils at 100 c

I know, baby, you'd dig it the most.. But you know what the funniest thing about Europe is?
[JULES]
What?
[VINCENT]
It's the little differences. I mean, they got the same shit over there they got here, but, it's just, just, there it's a little different.
[JULES]
Example?
[VNCENT]
Alright, you can walk into a movie theatre in Amsterdam and buy a beer. And I don't mean just like in no paper cup. I'm talking about a glass of beer. And in Paris, you can buy a beer at McDonald's. And you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?
[JULES]
They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?
[VINCENT]
No, they got the metric system there, they wouldn't know what the fuck a Quarter Pounder is.
[JULES]
Then what do they call it?
[VINCENT]
They call it Royale with Cheese.
[JULES]
Royale with Cheese. What do they call a Big Mac?
[VINCENT]
Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it Le Big Mac.
[JULES]
Le big Mac! Ahhaha, what do they call a Whopper?
[VINCENT]
I dunno, I didn't go into a Burger King. But you know what they put on french fries in Holland instead of ketchup?
[JULES]
What?
[VINCENT]
Mayonnaise.
[JULES]
Goddamn!
[VINCENT]
I seen 'em do it man, they fuckin' drown 'em in it.
[JULES]
Uuccch!
