Metric Shit-Ton (Unit of Homework Measurement)

A metric shit-ton is a unit of measurement used to gauge how long your bitch-ass homework took you to complete. One metric shit-ton is equivalent to 4 hours worth of daily homework, excluding breaks and procrastination time.

I'm typing up this entry just to avoid doing my metric shit-ton of homework.

Merrick and Rosso

A comedy duo from Australia who are seen (and heard) mainly on radio and in newspapers. Are pretty funny and have some classic CD's out, available from ABC shops. Have a liking for the New Zealand accent and once rang a pizza shop in NZ to pay out the poor guy there.

Have you heard Merrick and Rosso? They are very funny.

Metric system

A measurement systembased off the number 10, the size of the earth, and proprties of water. It was intruduced by French revolutionaries with the intention of creating system that was logical and easy to use, and because the previous system had been based on the feet of the king, whom they had killed.

In practical terms, one metre is a pace, half a litre is a large drink, which ways about half a kilogram, and all temperatures below -20 celsius and above 35 celsius are unbearable.

Theoretically all major nations except the united states use the metric system. In practice, all nations including the united states use a mixture of the metric system and older units.

Scientists generally use the metric system almost exclusively, but the average man on the street still finds it a bit abstract.
