There's several different types of miles: nautical, statute, scandinavian, irish, etc. Which makes using the imperial system all the more stupid.
- True but there are also many different types of meters: kilometers, centimeters, millimeters, thermometers, barometers, ... face it: the metric system isn't better
  
  It sounds like you're being sarcastic but you're getting all these serious replies.
  
  You are right. But the metric system is intuitive. 12 millimeters = 1 centimeter, 3 centimeter = 1 meter, 100 meter is a football pitch, and 1760 meters are a kilometer (I had to google this one because I never know. The designers really missed out at using 1776 meters in a kilometer).

  This is a good and funny comment. Sorry the people voting are too thick to get it
  
  Meter? I hardly know her!
  
  kilo is a common prefix meaning *1000
  milli is /1000
  and you can use them for several units
  it's not like we use "irish" to mean *1.27
  
  No. A metre is always a metre. The prefixes are standardizex.
  
  Maybe add a /s

Was this made by Fujitsu systems?

It depends. Are you measuring from the marbles or from the winking eye?
