A system of measurement, used by most of the world, based off of units that make logical sense, unlike the arbitrary US system people have grown accustomed to.
1 kilometer is 1000 meters, 1 meter is 100 centimeters, 1 centimeter is 10 millimiters.
1 mile is 1760 yards, 1 yard is 3 feet, 1 foot is 12 inches.
The United States government's hopes of switching to the metric system were dashed once they realized it would cost billions of dollars.
Me: Yeah we went 135 miles per hour for about 5 minutes, the cop was gone.
European cousin: Cool?

The system of counting used by Buzz, the fat older jock brother in Home Alone.
Basically it's useful, if you want to list three things. Instead of 1, 2, 3 or A, B, C...
A, 2 and D are used.
a) I'm not that lucky
2) We have smoke detectors.
d) We live in the most boring street in the United States, where nothing remotely interesting will *EVER* happen, period.

The much-improved sequel to the game System Shock, which continues the story 42 years later and pretty much improves on every aspect of the game while keeping the concept of merging
role-playing and first-person shooter genres in a near-seamless and highly-addicting way. It won several game-of-the-year awards and probably would have won many more had Half-Life not been released in the same year. If you have not played this game, you are missing a treat. It has a HUGE cult following. It is the most immersive game I have ever played.
"Dude!, I can't wait to get home and play System Shock 2"
"Man, I feel ya!, A Rumbler was chasing me yesterday and I forgot it was just a game"
