Metric vs Standard

Ostensibly this video is about why A4 is the perfect paper size (and system), but really it's a brilliant takedown of the inch...



I bet you didn't even know A4 was a system for sizing paper (I sure didn't know it was the metric system, or how cool it is).  This is another one of those examples where it really feels like we (the US) should join the party already and get on the metric system.  At the same time it's another great example of why we never will; can you imagine the headache of trying to convert all of the printers (well, most of them will run A4 I think) and filing systems (wait, maybe A4 will fit in standard files too)...
