I agree.

Every now and again an athlete appears on the scene who is on, or maybe even from, another planet. This boy is truly amazing.

I watched the Berlin Athletics Live and saw him run. Is this boy from Jupiter? 100/9.58= 10.44 m/s ! :blink: How big is a meter?- just lengthier than to a stride. Considering someone doing approximately 10.5m/s is truly amazing

How do you figure that?

There are 12 inchs in 1ft

36 inches in 3 ft

2.54 cm in 1 inch

2.54x36 = 91.4 cm

which is not 1m

Sorry I meant about 3 ft, not exactly. A yard is equal to 3 ft.

3 foot 3 inches (3'3") is a good approximate to a metre. :)

Man why couldn't the US just switch to the metric system. It would make everything so much less confusing.
