April 28, 2013 – Ezekiel 45

When I was reading about weights and measurements I wondered who decided a pound was a pound.  Obviously, it did not have to be 16 ounces.  It could have been 15 or even 10.  How much easier would that be for figuring things out.  Makes you wonder why we are not on the metric system.  Other than the fact that we don’t use it accept in school and that we aren’t used to it, it makes so much more sense to have things in 10’s rather than 12 inches or 16 ounces or 32 degrees.  That makes me wonder why they didn’t come up with a metric for time.  I am pretty sure everyone uses 24 hours, 60 minutes.  Would it be so hard to come up with a watch that ticks in a way that 100 seconds equals a minute and those 10 or 100 minutes equals an hour and we have another multiple of 10 make a day.
