From MNForum:
I was in D.C. Thursday through Saturday working the Marine Corps Marathon expo. There was a booth selling shirts with all sorts of "cute" sayings. One was printed with "42,695 meters, 46,145 yards, 138,435 feet, 1,661,220 inches - I ran 'em all."
I was compelled to inform the owner that his shirt was metrically wrong (I hate to think what Bob Baumel would have done in my place), and he told me he would change it for the next print run.
