Am I the only one that read all that in Morgan Freeman's voice?
 
Those pics, just nothing short of something that not even "Strange" describes accurately.
 
Hey, it's not our fault our forefathers left us with the worst measurement system in the universe.

Besides, I use metric.
 
I use both, but I know my thumb is just bigger than an inch and my foot is a foot long, and since I'm 6', I'm 2 meters high. Doesn't work out as nice in cm.
 
Just so you know, jumping from yards to miles is like jumping from centimetres to Astronomical Units.

12 Inches = 1 foot
3 feet = 1 yard
22 yards = 1 chain
10 chains = 1 furlong
8 furlongs = 1 mile
3 miles = 1 league

6 feet is not 2 metres. It's about 1.83m.

Thank you. Nobody else I know remembers these. I don't find it that difficult.

Imperial may be quirky, but it's not impossible to understand. Curiously, 1 chain = 1 cricket pitch. Which means you can work out the scale of an overhead photograph if there is a cricket pitch in it.
