Hey, I really enjoy the imperial system (besides fahrenhiet). It gets more fun when you get beyond yards and pounds and into stones, hundredweight, and imperial tons and rods, chords, and furlongs.

Oddly, in Ireland, we often still use feet, inches, and stone, but mostly only for measuring _people_.
