Why not put it in metric too?! I knew the answer in meters but had no idea how many feet it was

Gee if my mother was alive Id be letting her know she gave me the wrong answer to that question 40 years ago. Oh my goodness I've been telling people it was 20 feet cause that what she said, and she was a registered nurse. Oh well she was extremely great at her job. God bless her heart 50 years serve an 10 feet of bowel off I think all is forgiven. Rip mum.

we need metric numbers too. People who use metric usually have no idea how much 30ft or 168lb is?

that's why we need to eat massive amounts of fiber to stay healthy, unlike a straight carnivore like a timber wolf which has a two or three foot intestine.

I've heard in the past that it's the length of a football pitch... which is much longer than 30 foot. Anyone else heard this?

Maybe answers could state also the metric length. Feet means nothing to 90% of the worlds population

the answer depends on the source you reference. Poor wording of the question.

1 meter is 3.3ft….. we need to eat fiber and more protein to sustain the muscles and stay healthy

90% of the world population uses the metric system. Providing only imperial should not be acceptable.

please make sure your questions/answers are also in metrics, when it comes to measurements, since it is the most used (and most logical) system used in the world

Mario Suedi, yes, I counted 5 in the intro, and then subdivisions of 2 of the 5 given. A straightforward listing of the 8 sections was teased but not delivered.

quicksilver, and the jejenum which is immediately before the ileum. I know because I had a tumour removed from there last year.
