Time is metric to the people who invented it. Originally, a day consisted of 12 hours, 120 minutes each. Because the society who designed it used base 12 numbering (2 more digits between 9 and 10), this was metric to them. (Later the system was changed to 24 60-minute hours.)

Someone made a camera lense that works like that, but didn't tell anyone how he did it.

Try looking around for a while with your eyes out of focus. You might be suprised how well you can see that way.

Did you know that just becouse there was some tellevision special on it, it doesn't mean there's any degree of proof or even plausability that Mayans were psychic? Did you know that Mayans were known for putting babys' heads in molds becouse they thought pointy heads were attractive?

Did you know that during WWE's Raw Diva contest, the competitors were asked to "verbally seduce" a former WWF wrestler... and one of the contestants actually asked what "verbally seduce" means?

You could probably believe that, but you didn't know it, now, didja?

Did you know that bikes are currently the most efficent form of transporation. I believe they utilize 20% of the energy put in to make them move. Compare that to cars which only utilize 10-12% of the energy produced.

Did you know we can't be exactly sure of how the Romans pronounced Latin, and thus the opening statement in this thread is only based on assumptions, not fact?

The gear you're makes it how hard you have to peddle to gain speed.
