>Wish you were out on the West Coast. I would enjoy working with you. I am not too sure about my ears but my feet would know. My shoes are from Europe so they only make metric noises. Now what is the unit of measure of metric noise? dbeun? I was a Metrology Engineer in my previous life. Metrology is the Science of Measurement.

European shoe units don't make much sense to me - I'm wearing a 44, which is supposed to be equal to 10 1/2. The question is, 44 of what? Surely not centimeters, as 44cm would would require registration with coastal guard - any shoes above the size of 46 is usually reffered to as "boats" or "child's grave" in our slang.

Seems to be that you must be disappointed with this life, since metrology sounds somewhat out of place when you're still using inches, feet, yards, and several other units of measure whose spelling bears only vague resemblance to their pronunciation :).
