The Metric Conspiracy Theory: The reason why SETI has not produced any 100% verified hits from ETI is that the aliens are not impressed by the fact that we have not all gotten our act together and converted to metric. They distrust us too much and are actively taking measures to keep us in the dark until all the space contractors are using metric completely.  |

Actually the aliens are unimpressed with our effort to convert to a decimal-based measurement system for everything, since they all use base 8.
"Stupid hew-mans! Always using two extra digits for everything! What a waste!"

I thought they used base pi.

Those aliens that use base pi are always going in circles and will never amount to anything. We should align ourselves with only those galactic neighbors that use a base e number system and join in their culture of compounding growth.

Stoopid hoomans, still using anatomical references to measure with. |
