Pink News: Norway legalizes gay marriage

Members of Parliament in Norway today approved a bill that will allow same-sex couples to marry by 84 votes to 41.

The new law will make marriage gender neutral.

The Scandinavian country already allows gay and lesbian couples to enter into civil partnerships, but LGBT rights groups had long complained the law does not go far enough.

Norway joins Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, South Africa and Canada in granting gay people full marriage rights.

Question: How many countries don't use the metric system?

Can't say that we're all a bunch of sheep, can we?

How many countries don't use the metric system?

Just three. Only three nations have not officially adopted the International System of Units (aka the metric system or SI) as their primary or sole system of measurement: Liberia, Myanmar and the United States.

And we know how progressive Liberia and Myanmar are.

And the US uses different-sized liquid measurement than the Imperial standard.

Chuck, "a pint is a pound", but only in the US

And the UK, surely?
