“Why can't we just use measurements that make sense?”

“Take me to your meter”

~ Aliens on Meter

The meter is a unit of measuerment of length that is roughly defined as the length of three badgers put end to end. The unit is mostly used in 8th world countries as well as England. It is slowly gaining more acceptance as people turn away from the mainstream. Scientists (and people who pretend to be scientists for tax purposes) believe that by 2061 the meter will have complete dominace as a unit, leaving the foot, lung, and popsicle stick as footnotes in history.

[edit] The History of the Meter

It was first brought into existence in the early 1700s as a substitute for the horse tail, but was quickly dismissed as being too complicated. Then, a dance known as the Electric Meter brought the meter back into popular culture for a short time. Then someone invented the Yardarana, another dance that swept the then 53 United States. It seemed that the meter was doomed to fail.

Approximately 14.7812 years later, a man named Chester A. Arthur would find that he needed to measure how long three raccoons were. Thus, he turned to the meter. He found that it was close enough to pass mustard. Ever since he has been working on making it the thing to which we measure everything else up against.
