(This is close to the wording of the military US genius Rumsford or similary who accused Austria to be on that level, when we did not officially allow USmilitary aircrafts to fly over Austrian territory on their way from Germany to the near east war scenario. Why should we break our constitution because a US secretary of war (sorry - defence) wants to save a little fuel for his airplanes? Never mind, they traversed Austria anyway and showed the well known principle of the right of the strong......)

Even funnier is the unit "Reaumur". We should be happy to have "universal" units, known all over the world and being the same in any country or society - unless there is a specific country which wants to demonstrate how special and superior it is over all other ones. I'll write another comment to the discussion about USA and SI units.
