I'm thinking some of my friends who live in countries that have adopted the metric system will appreciate this as well...

I loved that! When we converted to metric 'up here', a friend from the States asked how we managed it, especially with temperature. I replied "That's easy. Anything over 20°C is too hot and anything under 0°C is too cold. Anything in between I can handle." :)
