[QUOTE=mobrockers2;35634849][img]http://iruler.net/ruler_0_10.jpg[/img] Yes, imperial is so much more precise.[/QUOTE] Get a 32nd-inch scaled ruler.
[QUOTE=Rad McCool;35635174]Get a 32nd-inch scaled ruler.[/QUOTE] And I should know what that is?
[QUOTE=mobrockers2;35635486]And I should know what that is?[/QUOTE] It almost sounds like it might be a ruler with 32nds of an inch on it but I dunno maybe I'm being ridiculous
You showed me a ruler and implied it was more precise than a metric one, so I show you a ruler with metric and imperial on it at the same scale you posted and your counter argument is "get a more precise imperial ruler"? Should have posted one with a different scale then.

"More precise" yet scientists use nanometers for extremely short things, instead of 1/xxxxth of an inch.

Thirdly, this argument is fucking idiotic because no unit of measurement is more precise than any other.
