Cool! I wish I would have known this in the 70's when Canada changed over from British Imperial units to the Metric system. Maybe this is the incentive needed to push the usa into the rest of the metric system world!

If every measurement being a factor of ten of a smaller or bigger unit isn't going to convince Americans of the ease of metric then the Fibonacci sequence isn't going to convince them.
