I know, just found it interesting!

height of 5"2' - Ah what, for heaven' sake?!? 5x3 equals 15, 15x100 so 150cm i.e. 1m50 plus 2x3 equals 6 i.e. so she must be 1,56 m cute if I'm correct.
Well that's a novel way of doing it!

I'm with you btw - I strongly dislike imperial units. They are very annoying in Civil engineering, especially when you have to do an assessment of some old 1930s reinforced concrete bridge and all you have to go on is a digital copy of a microfiche of an original paper drawing that was drawn by hand, with measurements in feet and inches and stupid reinforcement diameters like ¼, 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, ½, 5/8, ¾, 7/8, 1 1/8, 1¼, 1 3/8, 1½. ARE YOU KIDDING ME.

Enough off topic
