Everybody has heard the Americans don't have the metric system. Like a lot of things we've heard, it's not totally true, and to the extent that it is true, there's a story behind it.
Part one introduces the thoughts behind the metric system from the perspective of someone puzzled that everyone thinks we still use hogsheads and firkins.
