Unit Conversions

God was onto something when he dispersed the human race into different cultures and languages because they had built the Tower of Babel so high as almost to reach him. I couldn’t believe it that the word “Babel” actually came from the fact that when he did this, people turned to each other and thought they were “babbling” when they were actually trying to communicate in what they thought was their native tongue though unbeknownst to them it was no more. So, there you have some more “babbling” here — neatly tied into the fact that without differences in cultures and ways to think, we wouldn’t have so many different types of units out there that measure the same things! Kind of silly, but kind of makes sense, doesn’t it?

Convert standard to metric and metric to standard for all sorts of units, including distance, speed and volume.
