Greenwich Metric Time
Washington D.C.’s The Department of the Interior revealed that the USA would soon be converting to “metric time” along the same lines as Daylight Savings Time. Under the new system there would be 100 seconds to the minute, 100 minutes to the hour, and 20-hour days.

Furthermore, seconds would become millidays, minutes become centidays, and hours become decidays. The report included an interview with Director Pasthoure who praised the new time system. The Library of Congress was even shown sporting a new 10-hour metric clock face. Another source TelevisionAU.com shows a reporter posing with a smaller metric clock. CNN was swamped with numerous calls from viewers. One frustrated viewer wanted to know how he could convert his newly purchased digital clock to metric time.

The respected CNN news show anchors Nancy Grace and her partner Jane Valez Mitchell expressed strong opinions on their nightly news broadcasts. Others expressed their outrage.

Huge numbers of callers to their shows at CNN wanted to know how people were going to receive their pay and send their kids to school. “How many days are in a week?” To this the CNN host replied diplomatically, “place your trust in the United States and this will all work out.”
