There’s… a food establishment named Runza?

  Probably because they measure their recipes in giraffes and wingspans.

  The namesake sandwiches aren't very good, but I firmly believe it's the best burger you can get in a drive through.

Was watching a British show and they were describing things in inches.

America is very anti metric, but it's not like every other country out there is exclusively metric.

- The Brits still use stone as unit of measurement for weight. I get bashing us here in the US for not using metric but at least we’re rigid in our stupid system. The Brits seem to be a certain kind of special when it comes to units of measurement, using whatever system they feel like depending on the circumstance.

  Is the rest of Europe strictly metric, or are most countries a complete mess like this but just like feeling smug?

They're special. Let 'em be special. It keeps things interesting.
