nuthin' wrong with fahrenheit... and now we're working with 0's and 1's,
with units composed of 1024 elements, and numbers like A9 and B2...

8 oz. = 1 Cup
16 oz. = 1 Pint or 1 Pound
32 oz = 1 Quart

8, 16, 32... sound familiar?

weren't nothin' wrong with fahrenheit.

and I stll feel a twinge when I see a Union Jack.
