Right? The two words used in the bible that are translated, by tradition, into "carpenter" actually translate as "craftsman" and "builder". Jesus helped build houses, which at the time and in that region were made of stone. So there is some strong evidence that Jesus was a stone mason. To back that up, a lot of his parables used house-building as an aid.
We can't know for sure, but yeah! Kinda neat, huh?
Everytime I see one of these posts I have to make the same comment. The US is metric, everywhere that it matters. In the military, in the medical field, and in the scientific field. The ONLY reason we haven't converted every other part of our lives to metric is that our country is 50 times the size of the average European country. Do you know how expensive it would be to replace the infrastructure we've built and maintained over the past 200 years? The tax payers could not handle that burden, and it would require every state to agree to the terms of the change for a total conversion.
At this point, it is just part of our identity. It would be like asking the French to eat day old bread. They could, but why?
