That is very interesting

Different things in different cultures are always interesting, look at how time is handled in different cultures. Most western cultures have a monochronic approach to time, so a meting at 10AM really does mean 10AM and not about 10AM , where as in polychronic time it would mean , about 10

The first two guys aren't ever getting a job. And the third had better have a doctor's note for his sore back. Such contemptuous disrespect!

I like that the bows are delimited in degrees Centigrade. No imperial degrees here! ::geometry head explode::

Even the Japanese Empire was metric…

And somehow I didn't even notice those C signs. Whoops!
